Street Carnival 18 Jan 9am-1pm

Denise from Marewa

There are also two cruise ships in that day so plenty of excuses to dress up and show the visitors what a fabulous little city we have. I like to get my Deco garb on when in town on cruise ship days. Let's pack the street and have fun. If we don't support these events, we won't get more.

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?
