Elections and Signs.
Hi Neighbours, today is the last day for nominations to for Councils, Hospital Boards and the mayoralty.
Sadly once again we have already seen some signs stolen which is not only annoying but is also expensive. The signs cost about $40 each.
Some years ago we had a problem with a young group of supporters of a particular candidate, removing and destroying signs of another candidate, the cost to that candidate was $2,000 and the Mayoralty. I would urge all neighbours to watch out for signs in your neighbourhood and to keep an eye on them for the prospective candidates.
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?

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Working pool pumps
Has the above ground pool had it but the pump still works? I would like to buy it from you for a reasonable price. Any size considered. Cheers
