High density residential zone suggested for Porirua

Reporter Community News

Porirua could one day have high density residential housing, six storeys high.
The zone request from the Crown’s public housing agency was made when the council sought public feedback on the city’s proposed District Plan last year.
However, details of the request only came to light in a public notice in Tuesday’s Dominion Post, summarising requests made during the District Plan submissions process, and asking for further submissions from the public.
What do you think of the prospect of having multi storey apartments in Porirua.

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?
