Nominated by Jeni Quince from New Plymouth: "Reece the owner of Valentine’s Valet, often helped by his Dad, mainly deals with lawns and gardens etc but he runs both a Carpet Cleaning and a Car Buffing business also - both of which he operates. He is extremely hard working, helpful and friendly and is happy to do the odd job that don’t fall into one of his usual categories. He comes to us fortnightly and we could not do without him. Our neighbours use him as do some of our friends. IF ANYONE DESERVES AN AWARD IT IS — REECE VALENTINE!"
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
