Poll: How safe are we?
I live in the Wellington region and we are apparently waiting for the next big earthquake to hit our region. Local buildings are being forced to make changes to protect the public, just in case that earthquake happens.
When I shop I visit several supermarkets, including one that is very proud of the fact that they have pallet loads of goods stacked above the aisles, a few of the aisles have cages in place to stop movement but most of the aisles don't.
My questions for you are - if you use this supermarket chain:
1) Have you have visited in a region not expected to have earthquakes (Auckland) - have any cages been put up above the shelves?
2) In earthquake prone areas, has your local supermarket put up cages for your protection? I would hope that all the stores in the Christchurch area have been done.
3) Have you ever looked up at the top of the shelves and seen all the items just waiting for the day they can come down on staff and customers? I don't fancy my chances of being able to dodge them in the packed aisles.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
