Re: Air B n B
I have heard through the "grapevine" that our council are now considering placing a tax on anyone who does Air B n B in the Tauranga Council area like Auckland does We do Air B n B on a casual basis as we love having such diverse cultures coming to stay and we learn a lot from them but if the council do this we will have to stop as the extra charge we would have to add to our nightly fee would not be viable.
I have spoken to some of our guests and they have said if it was more expensive, they would simply go to Rotorua and leave out this area which would take a good deal of money from our local economy. does anyone else have a view either for or against?
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?

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?
