Hi there. My name is Jan and I live on Monthomery Avenue. I have only met my immediate neighbours and we are keeping in contact with each other but I worry that I do not know the wider neighbours around. So if there is anyone around the area that needs any support then please just get in touch with me and we can do our best to help. You are not alone Take care.
Hi there. My name is Jan and I live on Alanbrooke/Monthomery Avenue. I have only met my immediate neighbours and we are keeping in contact with each other but I worry that I do not know the wider neighbours around. So if there is anyone around the area that needs any support then please just get in touch with me and we can do our best to help. You are not alone in this. There is lots we can do even though we can’t be physically close. The worst thought I have is that someone is suffering when someone who lives next door could do something to ease this. Take care.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

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?
