Poll: Where do you stand on having Burger King and Starbucks in Tīrau?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

A battle is brewing between small town Waikato residents and big coffee as Starbucks eyes Tīrau for one of the country’s first drive-through venues outside Auckland.

But some locals don’t think the international coffee giant and a planned Burger King franchise are the right fit for the SH1 stop-off known for its boutique cafes, bespoke furniture shops and corrugated iron inspired art works.

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?
