Poll: Have rising petrol costs affected how you drive?
With the record price of 91 nudging around $2.50 per liter, the cost of fueling our cars is terribly high.
We're interested in looking at whether or not people are letting the price increase affect the way they use their car. We're hoping to hear if anyone has changed their habits and what they did to ease off the gas. Maybe people are cycling to work or maybe they're walking kids to school.
Please let us know. Share your experience.
And just remember to add an NFP to your comment if you'd rather it wasn't used in a news article.

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?
-
77.1% Yes

21.3% No

1.5% Other - I'll share below
Art and Craft Market at Kai Tahi - 10 till 3 EVERY SUNDAY!
Hi neighbours
The new Porirua Community Art and Craft market at Kai Tahi in Porirua is now running EVERY Sunday. It's all indoors, and there's over 30 stalls each week.
Opens at 10am and closes 3pm, so you can also grab lunch at the many international food court options. Bring the kids, and your dog on a lead is welcome too!
Parking at the back (on harbour edge) is free - just stay clear of the Staff Only parks.
