Poll: Should it stay or should it go?

Tarannum Shaikh Reporter from Eastern Courier

Auckland Council's Panuku Development says any of its publicly-owned properties with "no apparent service need" will be sold to fund other projects.

The former Howick Borough Council headquarters and Howick Police Station at 34 Moore Street, Howick, is one property that may be added to Panuku's list.

But community leaders, including Howick Local Board members, insist the property, paid for by Howick ratepayers, should not be sold and instead be kept for the use of the community.

Should the council sell 34 Moore Street?

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
