I have a problem with my neighbour's tree - what can I do?

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

We get lots of calls from people who have a problem with a neighbour's tree. The best thing you can do is talk to each other and try and agree a way forward.

If that doesn't work, read the information on our website (see link under 'Read More') about what to do if:
- your neighbour’s tree is blocking your sun or damaging your property;
- branches of your neighbour’s tree are overhanging onto your property but not causing damage to your property;
- a neighbour’s tree is hanging over the shared driveway;
- fruit from your neighbour's tree is overhanging onto your property.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
