Poll: Time to ban Guy Fawkes?

Matt Tso Reporter from Upper Hutt Leader

The Petone wharf was set alight twice over the weekend during Guy Fawkes celebrations. Do you think it's time we seriously considered banning fireworks to avoid these sorts of incidents?

The PM is concerned at the number of pop-up fireworks sellers on the streets, but is not considering banning sales.

Advice please, declined house insurance cover

Jane from Pinehaven

Looking for advice please. Has anyone had any issues reinsuring their homes. Our current house insurance went up by 11.5%, so I decided to get another quote. At the end of a very long phone with Tower, they declined to insurance us, saying our property is a landslide risk. I'm on Wyndham Road in Pinehaven. While the house is up off the street, the house itself and backyard are on the flat part of our section. Now - in the interest of full disclosure - I'm going to have to tell our current insurer too. I've rung the Council to see if they've updated their hazards mapping - and they said the only update has been to the Pinehaven Overflow. Have lived in this house since 2003, and insurance has never been an issue till now. TIA
