Electric vehicle community day at Hampton Downs!
We're hoping to set a record for the number of electric vehicles (EVs) in one place this weekend! Join us Sunday afternoon for a drive with a difference at the Hampton Downs Motorsport Park - noon to 4:30pm, 7th October. McLaren and Tesla are racing!
EV owners can drive around the 2.8km race track! Tackle the track by donation or koha to help the organising group the Electric Vehicle Association of Aotearoa (EVAA) with funding. Get advice, talk about your cars, there is a prize-giving too!
EVs will be able to charge on site, using the WEL Networks fast charger there or another a few minutes away at Te Kauwhata, plus a variety of plug-in chargers.
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.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
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?
