What are your best water-saving tips for autumn and winter?
The temperature has dropped and we are getting some showers but the drought is far from over, according to Whangārei District Council, with the area recording its lowest ever rainfall from January to April. Hoses and sprinklers are still banned, with Whangārei's main dam at Whau Valley just 44 per cent full (pictured). What are your best water-saving tips now that we are approaching winter?
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.
