Northland Regional Council
Calling all Northlanders to complete the current survey being organised by the NRC as to how they are doing as a council: (www.nrc.govt.nz...). I don't know about others but I am heartily sick of the exorbitant amount we have to pay them (ever increasing) when they perform on a shallow, advice-based, role in the environment matters they are supposed to be focussing on and rather dream up employment and business promotion schemes (using our money), scholarships, etc. that they were never mandated to do. Please all have your say, as they have been getting away with this for too long.
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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

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?
