Fire breaks vs WRC efforts
Who has noticed there are no firebreaks left around the hills of Naenae?
I know they look like a scar on the landscape - but they do serve a purpose ..luckily enough we have not had any fires lately - *recalling the years of fires dotted over the hills at Guy Fawkes etc ** - but IF we get any fires in the hills over what may be a very hot summer at times...
there is now not a lot that would help slow the beast - nor much easy access for the services to get there..jus sayin....
Cmon WRC lockdown long over and I am sure there are plenty of staff able to get the toys out and go clear our firebreaks again....
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?
