Auckland drought: Growing alarm about demand for water as dry conditions continue

Danielle Clent Reporter from North Shore Times

Hi neighbours, the demand for water in Auckland is causing increasing concern, with one river at the lowest level it has been in nearly 40 years.
Water company Watercare said Auckland's water use is "skyrocketing" and people need to think before they turn their taps on.
Last week, previous water use records were broken three times, with the largest volume of 568 million litres used on February 19.
How have you reduced your water use this summer?

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?
