Burnside Primary school awarded by Keep Christchurch Beautiful
Burnside Primary school was recently awarded by Keep Christchurch Beautiful for being part of the programme for 25 years, ever since the inception of the programme.
The citation reads, "Burnside Primary is one of only two schools that have been participants in our Schools Environment Programme every year since its inception in 1994. Burnside Primary will receive one of the first 25-year long service certificates presented, at the end of year schools awards ceremony in November. We applaud Burnside Primary School’s dedication to all things environmental."
It was nice of Star Media to carry this is Western News and Nor'West News - one with my photo and one without!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.

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?
