Public meeting at Bream Bay on Civil Defence - 20 Dec
There has been a lot of interest from recent civil defence activities in Northland, so we are holding a community meeting in Bream Bay next Tuesday 20th December at 6pm in the Bream Bay College auditorium. If you would like to come along and meet the lovely Northland CDEM team, these are the topics we will be discussing:
- getting prepared for emergencies
- learning how to download and use the Hazard App on your smartphone
- looking at evacuation maps and finding out what zone you are in
- a bit about social media and how we run things in the CDEM office.
This is an open meeting to discuss civil defence matters and there will be the opportunity for really keen people to join the local response group too. See you all there next week !
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?

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?
