noisey neighbours

Tony from Glenfield

got a problem here around peach road.Recently there was a house rented out by a group of people and there are noisey .this person will turn up his car hifi as early as 6am or 6:15 am in the morning and sometimes at night.When you call noise control action line these ppl dont turn up for at least and hour or so.These people will talk out loudly on the phone and slam the doors.These type of people also don't really care about their neighbours.Do you this the police is interested in this kind of problem and worst to worst some of these ppl will light up the fireworks in the middle of the night and wake up all the neighbours .What should we do to these type of people.Im not going to confront them and tell them to behave.Peach road use to be a quite road until tamahere house came up now it has become a busy road cos ppl taking shortcut.Im pretty sure everyone notice the road got layed some stone chips and it is loose and sometimes when a car past it will bounces and land on your driveway.when are they going to seal the road propperly.Sweeping the road don't do anything.I had flat tyre twice that cause by there sharp stone chip.Corner of bently ave and chartwell road what took them so long to fix up the road.Notice everytime when there is a road works like these it will take months or close to a year to finish.If this would be in a city it will take only weeks.once these type of road goes to the paper it will be complete in few days.instead of a few weeks job these road workers will delay for months and months and all you can see these workers are just walking around doing nothing.One last thing I notice there is a water leak down along peach road around 72 peach road by the transformer and did anyone called water care.was leaking for weeks now

Six tips for improving security around your home

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.

2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.

3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.

4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.

5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.

6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property

Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
