Reporter Community News

A teenager has been threatened by a nine-year-old with a boxcutter knife outside Queensgate.
The victim's father said his son had been at the mall with two other friends when they were approached by the group on two separate occasions.
When his son went outside the mall to get his bike, they were approached by the group again.
Goodwin said his son was punched in the back of the head multiple times and kicked in the legs, by the group, who demanded he hand over his bike.

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.
