Fruit Tree & Native Plant Guardians
Kia ora,
A community member has expressed interest in planting fruit trees on the green space behind and in front of the community center. We are wanting to apply for council approval to plant fruit trees and also potentially some natives in future. For this we need to know if the community are in support of a small amount of the lawn being taken up by native plants and fruit trees. Please let us know your thoughts. We also need fruit tree guardians to look after the trees, so please get in touch if you are interested! We would also love any fruit tree experts to help us out with placement of the trees.
Contact saskia@mmcc.org.nz for more info.
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?
