Keep rag monsters away this festive season
A full house over the Christmas period can put extra stress on your homes plumbing.
You don't want to have to call in a plumber to clear out a 'rag monster'.
‘Rag Monsters’ are made up of wet wipes, nappies, cloth, tampons, sanitary and incontinence pads, hair and other non-biodegradable material.
These items have no place in the wastewater system and should never be flushed down the toilet.
Give your loo the ultimate gift today by only flushing the 3Ps down the toilet: Pee, Poo and [toilet] Paper.
Happy Christmas!
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.

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?
