Opaketai Beach Haven Gardening Day this Sat 5th Sept 9.00am

Lisbeth Alley from Beach Haven Birkdale Residents Assn Inc

HI Everyone,
This coming Saturday 5th September from 9.00am to 12.00pm, Beach Haven Placemaking Group and the BH Residents Association will be working in Opaketai Beach Haven Garden spreading mulch donated by Treescape. We will also spread the mulch in the Rangatira Road- Beach Haven School Walkway garden as well.
This is vital work to enable the gardens to survive over summer with minimal (if any) watering – especially crucial if we get another drought this summer. We would love your help if you can make it - please bring a wheelbarrow or buckets and a shovel/spade, etc.

We will be maintaining social distancing as much as possible so a mask and hand sanitister, etc would also be a good idea 

See you there, Lisbeth
Beach Haven Placemaking Group and BH Birkdale Residents Association

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
