No dogs on playgrounds

Communications team from Hastings District Council

Kids, dogs and playgrounds don't mix: We have had complaints that people are taking their dogs onto the new playground in Havelock North. Please note dogs are not allowed on any playgrounds in Hastings. The bylaw allows for fines of up to $300. If you see someone with a dog on a playground please get as much information as possible, call 871 5000, and ask that the information be passed to the animal control team. No dog signs for the new playground are being produced and should be up next week.

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?

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?
