I'm here to help a business at Short Notice

Michelle from Gulf Harbour

If anyone has a air bnb type lodging near Auckland CBD available for Saturday night for me, my mum and my friend, I have a budget of $100 to spare. I am a single mum, don't get out much and I've been lucky to be invited out to a gig! We live in Gulf Harbour and as everyone knows it's a b***h to get any transport here and back so getting accommodation in the city is probably the smarter option but... even on Booking.com the bloomin places are super pricey and gross too. We'd need parking for 1 car. Or, we could make our way there via public transport and travel back on Sunday. My car's power steering has gone but kind of drive-able; mum's car is making a rattling noise. We are not the kind of people who ask for help and try and muddle through as best we can, so thus is not a sob story I promise!

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?
