Dog running lose this morning on Freeway

Judith from Manurewa

Good morning everyone. My sister and I were on our way to work this morning. Taking the Hill Road ramp onto the Southern Motorway. Noticed a dog running on the freeway and we pulled to the side and had tried to get him to avoid him from getting hit. Thankfully for this other man who stopped as well to help. The dog nearly got ran over. After several attempts to try and get him we had no luck but the dog had ran back toward the ramp we came from, and being on the freeway we couldn't go back. Came to work this morning and just couldn't stop thinking of that dog. I called the police and had raised this as well. As I was speaking with the police they mentioned that the dog was no longer on the freeway. My heart felt so relieved. But it seemed as if it was hit earlier before we were trying to rescue him. I hope the owners have found their dog. I have one of my own, and I wouldn't like to see it get hurt. I just wanna know that he's home safe where he should be :(

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?

2 degrees phone calls dropping out

Michele from Papakura

Hey neighbour's. Sorry, I'm not on social media e.g Facebook so I'm reaching out to you all hoping this is not just happening to me.

Have any of you had phone calls to other 2 degree customers (phones) where in less than 4-5 minutes the call drops out. You call the person back, don't get a ring tone and goes straight to their leave a message and takes a few calls before you get hold of the person again but after again 4-5 minutes, the same thing happens. This is calling another person within NZ. Also, occasionally the call breaks up so you can't understand what they are saying for a few seconds. This us not from not having bills unpaid or anything like that and has been happening since October.

I would appreciate your feedback and experiences and advice on how to get around this or have resolved.
