Join our community at Eden Park this Wednesday 4th October at 6pm, as we remember our fallen soldiers 100 years on.
THE BATTLE OF BROODSEINDE - 4 OCTOBER 1917

Gallaher, a sergeant in the 2nd Battalion, Auckland Infantry Regiment, was killed when he led his men in an attack on 's Graventafel spur. Dave Gallaher’s cross will join 12 other white crosses to honour the 13 All Blacks who lost their lives during WWI.

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?
