Tree removal on Ohawini Road
We love having "landmark" trees in our District and this pohutukawa is a good example. Unfortunately it has been slowly tipping over the road, so we sent someone to investigate.
The report from our Parks and Recreation Technical Officer says: "The main leader has clearly moved significantly over the last five years, which would indicate possible root damage is occurring under the road surface. This tree now poses a risk to road users and this is a high volume road in the summer months."
We have scheduled removal for Wednesday 14 September 2022, and plan to replant in this location in Autumn. The tree is on Ohawini Road, just to the south of Parutahi Beach.
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?

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?
