Houses next to the railway tracks... noisy or convenient?
Hi neighbours, we're keen to talk to people who live near a busy railway line - commuter or freight - about the pros and cons of the location.
What's the noise disturbance like? Do you notice it?
Was your house cheaper than others in the area?
Is the easy access to transport the reason you bought there?
If you can answer any of those questions, we'd love to hear from you. Please leave a comment or email homed@stuff.co.nz with your name and details. Have a great day!
Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

New traffic lights for Kepa Road
My husband has read on a recent Facebook page that in the next few weeks work will begin on erecting new traffic lights on the corner of Kupe Street and Kepa Road! Apparently, this is estimated to take a few months!
This is madness!! As if the raised pedestrian hump is not enough to slow traffic down on this main thoroughfare, the addition of (totally unnecessary) traffic lights will increase the problem tenfold. Who on earth has approved this and why is it happening? I think we locals deserve an explanation.
