Please stop cutting down trees

Karen from Papatoetoe

To all residents of South Auckland PLEASE stop cutting down trees! We and the planet need every tree available to help fight climate change. And there is nothing better than to sit under a tree and watch the world go by . And also the trees are so important to our biodiversity survival. Bit by bit all our big beautiful trees are being cut down . A tree of that size takes a life time to grow and people are cutting the tree down in seconds. This should not be allowed.
The old Grey homestead in St George Street Papatoetoe surrounding trees and bush were totally destroyed including a massive tree that had a trunk the size of a small car. I realize we need homes but PLEASE try to build around the trees . Really by keeping the trees enhances the property and adds value.

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?

Dinner plates knife fork and spoon set it seems like they put everything on special and made the lay out off the store so I had to walk past everything before I got to the product I went into buy.
