* So sad for hard working Foursquare owners scum ruining their livelihood. Curfews on males won't stop assaults, females also dangerous on the streets.
* In reply to text re lady falling over on Tomoana Rd, my mother broke her nose and sprained her hand. Has recovered now but would like to thank the individuals that stopped to help her and give assistance and comfort.
* Judge Bridget Maclntosh astounds me. Three drink-driving convictions and only nine months disqualification!
* Time for hefty fines for dumping rubbish or littering. SB
* Re helmets, I can not believe how many children with parents or older siblings bike past with their helmets on their handle bars or none at all. Police need to start confiscating bikes. The fine of $50 is not enough. KRT
* Shame on NCC. Have you all seen the big blue box in the sky at Ahuriri. Great for our cruise ships coming in, at least they will know where abouts Ahuriri is when they arrive. You got it wrong again NCC, time to get new planning department - yeah right.
* Why is it some folk burn wet wood in Napier every year. We get ours in October/November already dry. If you buy early it's also cheaper. Wood needs time to really dry out.
* Napier can't afford aircon in library but can afford $1.5mil for two second hand buses! Are you trying to match Hastings debt? Better to replace Onekawa pool.
* Agree with you Mike. Grant Fox should pass his mike to you and/or me. Vic
* JS you are so right. Frederick/Grove Rd so dangerous. Some right turning arrows would help so much. Waiting for the accident! SJ.
* To the person saying that people travelling at 90-95kms on open road is good, the speed limit is 100, and they should be ticketed just like the drivers who exceed the limit.
