ROTORUA NEEDS YOUR VOTE !!
Thank you to all the people who came out to our filled-to-capacity sessions recently. Going by the number of people who stayed afterwards to tackle candidates on the issues they were concerned about, everyone got value for their time.
Voter turnout is seriously low at this point in time ... and while there is still time till voting closes, some really important issues are on the table for solution in the next 3 years. The meetings showed up 2 very different styles of managing our city's current issues and our future. How you vote DOES matter, and not voting could produce a result you really did not want. If you have not received your papers yet, you can cast your votes at Lakes Rotorua Council Chambers - it does not take long !!
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?
