Permanent chlorination possible for town's water supply. What are your thoughts?
Chlorination of the Richmond water supply may work out cheaper than keeping it free of the chemical, according to Tasman District Council.
A report states that "chlorination of the Richmond water supply is an effective way to prevent re-contamination of the network. Turning the supply on and off results in significant staff and contractor costs and resourcing issues".
What do you think? Is this an effective way to manage water contamination risks?
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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
