Does Auckland need a ban on begging?
Hi neighbours,
Is begging an issue in your Auckland community? Rough sleeping and begging within five metres of retail buildings in Tauranga has been banned after a controversial bylaw was passed. But it's got people wondering - could it work in Auckland too? To read more about this, click here.
Do you think a ban would make a difference here or is it a terrible idea? What other options could be looked into? Are you a business owner or customer with thoughts on the topic? Share your views and suggestions with us in the replies below!

Cat run down
Hi neighbours. Last night our precious cat was killed by a speeding car on Gowing drive. The way people fly down our part of the road has always concerned me and I have almost been taken out a number of times trying to come out my driveway because of the speed people choose to drive on the corner coming down the hill. We are absolutely beyond devastated to lose our fur baby and while I know that cats get killed by cars all the time, I imagine by her injuries and position on the road that the car that hit her was clearly speeding. It was heartbreaking that whoever hit her also did nothing- just left her in the middle of the road :( Can I ask our neighbours and those who use Gowing drive specifically as their own race track, to be more mindful of the impact your driving can have on others. I had got our beautiful wee cat to help me grieve the loss of my best friend to suicide four months ago, so it is particularly heartbreaking for us.
