Renovation of asphalt driveway

Peter from Fairfield

I am considering 2 options of what to do with refurbishing / renewing my old asphalt driveway which is slightly damaged / marked in parts- approx 20 metres long.
# One cheap option is to is to place a thin asphalt overlay to the existing surface - has anyone used a local contractor to do this ? And if so, what company did a good job on this for you and how cost effective were they?

# Another option which is cheaper is to apply an asphalt paint over the area ( Resene Blacktop ) and this apparently is easy to apply with a Hi Solid Roller sleeve '

In doing this you are restricted to a black, red or green as a colour , with black being most popular.
Have any of you home owners got a black asphalt driveway done in this way that I could drive past and see from the road? PM on text if you wish

I would appreciate any comments / recommendations on doing this work.- either options
Regards

Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens

Karl from Alicetown

It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it. Cycle ways more important than begonia house i think not

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?
