Was it you who found my naughty greyhound Bella?
I was just phoned by Karori Vet Centre that my greyhound Bella had been taken to the Karori Vet by a very kind lady who had found her wandering in the cemetery! I did not know she was missing, but thought she was snoozing in her basket as usual. I later discovered that the gate had blown open and she must have crossed busy Chaytor Street all by herself! Do you know or are you the person who found Bella? I would very much like to thank you personally. It is a great relief that Bella is unharmed and that someone went to a lot of trouble to take her to the vet.
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?
