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?

Sleeping Beauty - The Pantomime
A family comedy where a stitch in time saves nine thousand years.
Aurora is the people’s princess of Wellingtonia – with a curse.
On her first birthday an evil spell is cast: One day she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel, sending her into an unbreakable deep sleep. With the help of fairy god-daddies that watch over her and a surprise visit from two interdimensional travellers, Aurora must venture through the time-space continuum to stay conscious and reclaim her throne from evil forces. An original pantomime that takes a beloved fairytale and adds equal amounts of song, dance, and sci-fi to bubble up a perfect potion the whole whānau will love. A high-energy romp of comedy and capers – Sleeping Beauty is anything but a snoozefest. Celebrating 20 years of Circa Theatre pantomimes.
