The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A Tauranga man has filed a complaint with the Commerce Commission, claiming that due to dynamic pricing, it’s cheaper for him to fly to Los Angeles than to book a flight for his daughter from Tauranga to Wellington.

Do you think their pricing needs addressed to encourage more people to fly?

Poll: Are there any run-down homes in your area?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Neighbours of a cluster of empty and deteriorating state houses in Thames say the landlord should make up its mind whether to either sell off or fix up the homes to spare the community the eyesore.
