Guy Fawkes goes off with a BOOM in North:

● Nirvanha Wharerau-Ripia Amazing. Worth it & would def go for banning fireworks for displays like Saturday

● Malcolm Perry Was an awsome display.

Retail giant Foodstuffs buys Otaika shopping centre:

● Brynn Pitman-Peek Better not take my lotto shop, fish n chip shop, chemist, butcher and 4 square! Or the liquor shop!!

● William Morunga I'm sorry to tell you this.....but they will probably all go and then be incorporat­ed into the one supermarke­t. The fish and chip shop prob be there. They will probably keep it as a four square though as they can charge more. Foodstuffs owns four square by the way.

● Toni Marsters Great wth do they want with that tiny parcel of land bc like Whangarei needs another supermarke­t

● Malcolm McLeod The Four Square used to be a New World supermarke­t....so if Foodstuffs develops the site into a New World eventually, then it's only going back to what it was.

● Sunshine Waru Cam Better make a safer crossing

● Diane Whitlock In the 30 years I have been using the shops at Otaika I have had nothing but polite friendly service from all of them, hardworkin­g decent shopkeeper­s all of them, shame on big business.
