Another Unnecessary closure
Taranaki Star June 10. AA to close Hawera Office. Business to be transferred to the i-site run by the Council. What was NOT printed in the newspaper was that the HO of AA are making 4 staff redundant. Closing the current office because they claim the building is not fit for purpose. Hold on - they have used the building since 1950's. Something clearly is wrong here. How many more corporate businesses are going to carry out the same thing and reduce country towns to ghost towns. Banks make huge profits but dont give a s--- about staff or customers. The Council staff endeavour to attract new business and end up getting a church owned business which will be registered as a non profit organisation so pay NO TAX. People we have to speak up loudly and stop the rot.
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?
