My 2022 Prospa Local Business Hero nomination
My nomination is for a business on the main street of my community Hikurangi, called Or Near Offer. It is a fascinating little shop offering all sorts of second-hand goods and clothing. It is very welcoming mainly due to the wonderfully warm and friendly owner Tracey Haika. Tracey is always welcoming and happy to just have a chat, without in any way treating her customers as numbers as is so rife nowadays. She always offers my dog a drink of water and makes me and others, welcome. She is really enhancing the community spirit of Hikurangi with her beautifully creative, artistic and colorful shop exterior; she shows a truly entrepreneurial spirit. She is fully involved with our community - and in short an inspiration to other young Maori to believe that anything is possible.

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?
