Millennium Handprints to be removed - collect yours
What did you do to celebrate the dawning of a new Millennium, the year 2000? 🤖👾 On December 31st 1999 did you and your family gather at the Town Basin and push your hands in to the wet cement as you dreamed of the distant future? 🚀
Whether 2020 is what you imagined or not, we've decided to retire these hand-prints as part of the new Town Basin Playground upgrade. If you or your family are featured here and you would like to keep your square of cement for the inhabitants of Earth to admire in the year 3000 (👽? 🐛?) please get in touch with our contact-centre before Wednesday 22 July and we can arrange collection.

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.

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?
