Lawns down Rutland Road
I've been in Carterton for over 25 years and I remember the Council (or the nearby farmers, not sure who) would mow the grass down Rutland Road from end to end. Now since 5 years ago or so, they stopped doing it so I would walk the dog in knee high wet grass. We asked many times why they wouldn't do it and they said they "never did it in the first place". Now we finally got an answer: they won't mow in a 100kph zone. Ummm there's not many cars down there and most go up to 80 anyway. I'm just so tempted to voluntarily mow it at this stage but I will need a weedeater for that length!!
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

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?
