No Gremlins, as Gremlin becomes Van

Reporter Community News

Gremlin has made an incredible transformation. Earlier this year he was picked up by the Wellington SPCA with severe ringworm, which made all his hair fall out, and left his skin itchy and raw.
Gremlin’s condition had been untreated for some time so a treatment plan was put in place to help Gremlin heal and ease his pain.
After weeks in hospital and in the isolation unit, and months in foster care, Gremlin is a completely different kitten!
He has now found his forever family who have renamed him Van.
It is short for the word Vanir – the Norse word for magician - in recognition of the transformation he has made

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
