Our local native bush and walkway under threat
Do you enjoy a walk or a cycle ride along the Orewa river? Part of this walkway is under threat from development of more houses. We don't want to see parts of this bush area at Arran Point disappear.
Arran Point SEA (significant ecological area) has a huge impact on our environment with it's diversity, mature native trees and bird habitat.
Please help sign the petition created by Rochelle MeHarry to 'Stop the removal of native Bush on Arran Point on the Te Ara Tahuna estuary walk' chng.it...
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.
