Okara Loop bus service
A bus route which links Whangarei's CBD with Okara Shopping Centre is being reintroduced on December 19. The Okara Loop route will run from Rose St back to Rose St with stops at The Hub, The Warehouse (Port Rd entrance), MegaSurf and Porowini Ave (outside Pacific Ford Group).
The route existed in 2008 but was dropped due to low passenger numbers. Do you think it will be more popular this time around? Why or why not?

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?
