'Neighbourhood Support' Upper Hutt
Hello all. Having recently been bemoaning our local 'Neighbourhood Support' demise, since the loss of our co-coordinator, Heather Blissett, I was surprised to receive a Newsletter arrive in my Inbox this morning. No longer of local interest to self as it is now 'regional'.
Are there other Neighbourhood Support Groups out there who feel the same?
Have any groups found a way to keep members in the know?
I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has any ideas.
Could / should our local Council and/or Police, step up with some format to help keep our communities informed and safe?
Would be great to begin a conversation here on Neighbourly as a starting point.

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