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?

🌍✈️ Why It's Plane Sense to Challenge the Flight Path ✈️🌍
Wellington Airport announced some 'Gamer Changer' information in the news. New infrastructure could mean bigger and louder planes over our suburbs, affecting more residents. Massive aircraft like the Boeing 777X and Airbus A350-900, are twice as loud as the jet flights we experience today. Using AI, we’ve created a visual comparison of these new planes—take a moment to check it out.
💡 What can we do? We need to act now to revert the flight path back over the harbour, rather than turning left after takeoff and climbing over the slopes of our peak terrain - Mount Kaukau. But to do that, we need your support.
📢 We’re raising $25K by 2025, and we could use your help to reach our goal. Help us take action.
