New Wither Hills walking track
If you’ve been up the Wither Hills recently you may have noticed a new track. The Grigg Drive to Rotary Hill, 900 metre-long track was officially opened last week.
It provides direct access from the Boulevard on Taylor subdivision to the Farm Park and its network of walking and biking tracks.
Thousands of walkers and cyclists use the Farm Park every year and in opening the new track, Mayor John Leggett, said it’s great to see new tracks like this one being added to Blenheim’s iconic Farm Park. So if you haven’t done so already, make sure you check it out.
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?
