Crocheters Wanted

Pat from Melville

CROCHETERS WANTED.
We are a group of older ladies who make patchwork quilts and we also knit and crochet squares and strips to make into blankets for poor people in Moldova and Romania. We are always needing wool and material scraps to keep us going but right now we also need a couple of people who would be willing to crochet round the edges of the blankets when they have been sewn together. If you can crochet and have a bit of free time to help us finish off our blankets, or if you have material scraps suitable for patchwork or odd balls of wool/acrylic, we would love to hear from you. Please call me on 021-057-0371. Pat Gregory

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?

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.

One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.

Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.

At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.

Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
