Limited access to Orewa Beach
There will be limited access to Orewa Beach for the rest of the month until the work on replenishing sand is complete.
The council say that by replenishing the sand it performs the dual function of providing a storm buffer which acts to protect the beach from further erosion.
Fencing will start to go up today, in preparation for work commencing on January 22.
Do you think this effective, or do you have other solutions that you believe will work better?

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?
