Poll: Should a parking ticket be waived if the sign is hidden by trees?
Hi neighbours. Janelle Wills was given a $113 parking ticket for parking in an operational clearway on Glenfield's Chartwell Ave, but she thinks the fine should be waived because the sign with the parking restrictions was hidden by low hanging trees.
After she complained to Auckland Transport, the trees were "severely" trimmed to reveal the sign.
Auckland Transport said it was the responsibility of the driver to check for parking restrictions, and motorists should walk up to road signs if they have trouble reading them.
What do you think? Should a parking fine be waived if the relevant signage is hidden by trees? Vote in our poll or let us know in the comments.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Home made bread problem
Is anyone else having trouble with bread dough not rising properly?
I used to be able to turn out a decent loaf but now the bread is half the height - if that - and very dense.
I've used 4 different brands of yeast including the type bakers use to no avail. I've changed the flour to the best available and I've followed the recipe meticulously.
It can only be the flour?
What do you think?
