Boil water notice lifted for Reefton

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

The Buller District Council has lifted the boil water notice for Reefton residents after tests showed the town reservoir is clear of E coli bacteria.

The council on Monday apologised to residents for the inconvenience caused by the notice but said its first priority was to ensure public health and safety.

It also gave an assurance that it would look at bringing forward projects to solve the recurring problem.

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?
