Poll: Priority lanes the best option for Nelson's traffic problem?

Tim Newman Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Responders to an NZTA survey have shown a preference for priority lanes (on Rocks Rd, Rutherford Rd, and Waimea Rd) to help ease Nelson's traffic congestion issues - ahead of a new inland route or a widening of Rocks Rd to include two lanes each way.

However, Nelson MP Nick Smith says the survey was a "compromised response", as it was weighted towards people living near the city centre and not people who are also affected but live further afield.

What do you think the best solution is? Vote in our poll and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

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?

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?
