Poll: Is $16m enough for a Rototuna High Schools expansion?

Senior high principal Natasha Hemara said the junior school was "bursting at the seams" and the senior school would be getting close to its limits in 2020.

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?
