Poll: Should more money be spent on trying to solve the mystery of Lake Te Kō Utu?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Cambridge Edition

Hi neighbours,
Cambridge's Lake Te Kō Utu is still facing a mysterious scourge.
Loads of money has been spent over the years trying to find out how to solve the problem- now the Regional Council is set to do additional analysis which will cost approximately $350 per month, or $42,000 over 10 years.
So do you think more money be spent on trying to solve the mystery of Lake Te Kō Utu?

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?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
