Volunteers Needed for exhibition at Coastlands

Sharon Hunter from Paraparaumu Beach Business Association

Final year students from the School of Architecture at Victoria University of Wellington are currently exhibiting their proposals for a Kapiti Island Visitor Centre at Coastlands Mall. We need volunteers to mind the exhibition and sell the books until Sunday 25th March (9am - 5.30pm, and until 7pm on Thurs). If you can contribute half a day, or a whole day, that would be fantastic! One person at a time is fine, but if you can do it in pairs that may be easier (based on our experience so far). There are busy patches and it is hard to monitor the books, protect the fragile models from curious children, and explain the value of the exhibition all at once. If you can help out, please email sam.kebbell@vuw.ac.nz with the times you are available and he will send you more information (FAQs and handover notes).

There is an online calendar for the volunteer schedule where you can see what slots are still required. Click on the link below:

If you can’t volunteer but can forward this request to people who might know somebody who can, or somebody that might know somebody etc, please do!

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?
