Fire weather warning
Fire weather figures predicted for today (Tuesday 5 March) indicate that extreme conditions will exist in the wider Tauranga area.
Many areas of the BoP will be in danger but higher afternoon wind speeds make Tauranga particularly susceptible. Fire and Emergency NZ would like to remind everyone to take care with any activities which could create sparks. One of the highest risks is from long, dry grass and maize which can easily be ignited by accidental sparks from machinery used to mow or harvest it.
Remember, if you see anything suspicious call 111 for Fire and Emergency. Please pass this message on!
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?
