Creative solution sought for cathedral's costly flagging flag

Tim O'Connell Reporter from The Nelson Mail

The New Zealand flag flying proudly atop Nelson's Christ Church Cathedral is under threat, and it needs a creative solution.

The flag, measuring 3.6m by 1.8m, is flown most days from the tower along with the smaller Nelson city and cathedral flags.

Because of its large size and exposure to the weather, the New Zealand flag only lasts about 100 days before it starts ripping.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
