A dispute over dogs at a Paeroa garden centre has led to a $300 fine, neighbours honking air horns, spying allegations and questions over whether a business is a “public place”.

Donna Jamieson’s three dogs are her world, and part of the Country Dog Garden Centre experience.
However, various people have complained to Hauraki District Council about barking and off-leash dogs at the business. The council says they can’t be, and recently fined Jamieson $300 for a breach.
Do you think the dogs should be able to run free at this garden centre? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

The value of Hamilton Airport - and the 50% stake held by Hamilton City Council - has likely increased “significantly” according to one Hamilton councillor, but that doesn’t mean a share sale should be on the horizon, at least not yet.

Councillor and Economic Development chair Ewan Wilson said that in the wake of the announcement that international flights were returning to Hamilton, “the value of the airport has increased significantly”.

The van driver failed to comply with the red traffic signal and collided with an oncoming vehicle which had the right of way. This resulted in the van tipping over crushing the elderly van driver’s arm.
Despite the circumstances – within seconds of the crash occurring, other road users came to the aid of both drivers, and when they realised that the driver was elderly and the van was trapping their arm, they quickly came together and as a group pushed the vehicle upright onto its wheels.
Along with a fast response from FENZ, Hato-Hone St John and quick-thinking members of the public, the injured driver was able to be treated immediately.
We were impressed at how the community came together to help one another during the incident and how both drivers showed concern for one another at the scene. They were both in good spirits despite their ordeal. The van driver was taken to hospital for treatment on their arm along with the driver of the other vehicle who had minor injuries.
It’s a timely reminder to always take a second look at intersections and keep a look out for other vehicles even though you have the right of way.
Things could have been much worse if it wasn’t for the quick thinking of other motorists and witnesses at the scene. We are grateful to those members of the public for their attentive and caring response to the situation.
The driver of the van was issued with an Infringement Offence Notice.
