Poll: Should loo breaks at school be limited?

Julie Kaio Reporter from Franklin County News

A UK school's attempt to stop lessons being interrupted by frequent trips to the toilet has been met with outrage.
The controversial new rules stipulate students are only able to visit the loo during two time periods: between 11:05am and 11:25am, and 12:25pm and 12:45pm. That's right - if you need to use the toilet after lunch, you're out of luck!

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?
