MYSTERY SOLVED - no such thing as 'Council' approved 'No Junk Mail' sticker

Michael from Orewa

Regarding my post yesterday as to John from Exterior Waterblasters insistence that he could put whatever advertising material in any letterbox he wanted (regardless of 'no junk mail' or no Advertising material') if they did not have the Official 'Council' sticker for no junk mail, it turns out that this was just a complete fabrication to fuel his driving ambition to rule and dominate the world of water blasting. Hmmm...integrity and respect for other's rights not looking like part of this picture.

My husband visited the Council this morning and was told there was no such thing as a Council supplied junk mail sticker. They gave us the Marketing Association number which we called to be also told this did not exist.

So beware if you use John as it seems that his pursuit of the dollar will outweigh his care for the job done and his respect of his client's wishes.....especially if you happen to complain about his work (ear muffs required :-) )

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
