Do you want to help your community, but don’t have much spare time?
Would you like to meet like-minded people and support those that live with Parkinson's?
We invite you to take part in the Parkinson’s Street Appeal 1-2 November 2019. .
Parkinson's is a progressive and degenerative disease of the brain. Symptoms include tremors, rigidity, and slowness of movement, affecting 1 in 500 NZers. Notable people with Parkinson’s includes Mohammad Ali, Michael J Fox, and Billy Connolly.
The funds collected will sustain our Community Educator Nurses services they provide to people with Parkinson's.
All it takes is 2 hours to do good - please send Trish a note via parkinsonswellingtonappeal@gmail.com.
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?
