Wellington Curtain Bank - opens for 2020
It's that time again, time to welcome the Wellington Curtain Bank crew for another epic year of providing free curtains to families in need.
Every year Sustainability Trust get's a massive spike in orders right in the middle of winter.
As the curtains take up to 6 weeks to make, there are families spending most of the winter freezing while they wait for their curtains to arrive.
This year, they are asking for your help. If you know of community space (ie library, school, pre-school) where you could put up posters and/or place some order forms they would love to hear from you. Please email di@sustaintrust.org.nz
If you, or someone you know, would like to order curtains - you can do so here: sustaintrust.org.nz...
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?
