What will you miss the most about the video store?
Taranaki's only remaining video store is shutting up shop after 20 years. United Video, on Devon Street West in New Plymouth, rents thousands of DVDs out each year and has not seen a decline in rentals.
But the owner of six years Sam Bansal said it was too big a risk to renew the lease with a continuous changing nature to the way people consume DVDs. "If we renew the lease it goes for another three years. Three years is a little risk and we cannot take it," he said.

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.
