Landfill consultations (Sunday 29/09/19)
UPDATE & REMINDER Southern Landfill (the council run landfill not the two privately run ones) - has roughly four years capacity in the current "stage" / area of the landfill (but more available) and discussion of future operations and usage needs to be had. WCC are running discussion / question & answer sessions this Sunday in Brooklyn in three sessions (from 10.30am; 11.30am and 12.30pm then two sessions in Owhiro Bay later on Sunday).
Whether you consider the landfill an asset or an intermediate step towards some thing we can do better at (perhaps doing away with in the future?) we urge you to come down to listen to options and have your say. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday...wellington.govt.nz...
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?
