As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park.

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?

Poll: Do you think the inclusion of affordable homes will have an impact?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Off-the-plan sales at the long-awaited $3 billion Te Awa Lakes housing development in Horotiu will start in early 2025, some seven years after Perry Group originally announced the project.

Once finished about 2500 homes are due to be built on the 90ha site, with a target of 10% “affordable” homes being maintained. More than 5000 people are expected to live at the development once finished.

Do you think the inclusion of affordable homes will have an impact? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
