Sharing the walkway.
My dog loves to walk me along Mangorei Road. We often meet with people needing an electric scooter or hand propelled seated chair to move around; those are extremely silent and I cannot hear them when they come from behind us...but doggy can; it scares him or he could think that a mechanical monster has swallowed someone and he tries to save them...so he jumps on the device...this might end someday with someone thrown on the street and injured. Could those using the devices have the common courtesy AND the commonsense of keeping themselves safe and make some noise when they come close to us from the back: ring a bell, blow a trumpet, yell or sing but be heard! Thank you.
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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
