Poll: What should the council do with the modellers pond?
What do you think should be done with the pond? And what are your thoughts on the long search for a solution? Let us know in the comments!
The council has once again come back to the drawing board for clearing out the Modellers Pond, and is looking closely at partially filling in the pond with concrete. This will make the pond easier to clean so it can be used by modellers and won't be an eyesore.
Its function as a storm-water catchment is unaffected by weeds.

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?
