Garden lights

Sally from Nawton

My garden lights which was spiked along my footpath were stolen for the second time. The first was stolen 4 years ago. That time I put the garden lights from my garage door and all through my footpath. I was upset when that happened and didn't get new ones until last year. These are solar garden nights. Those nights may not cost much to others but to me it was. Obviously must be same culprit that took the garden lights. Does anyone had the same experience which happened to me? I realised that none of my neighbours have any in their garden. ?have these happened to my neighbours too? I am in Antrim Place in Nawton. I am not sure if I should get new ones or maybe outdoor solar sensor lights instead fixed on the wall . Does anyone aware about these thefts?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
