Mary Potter Hospice needs your support
Hi Neighbourly folk, it has been a tough year for hospices in the region so don't forget to support the Mary Porter Hospice.
The hospice has an annual budget of $14.5 million and has to raise $7 million annually from the community.
The next Mary Potter fundraiser is the Strawberry Festival, Wednesday November 18, from 10am to 4pm, Midland Park.

Limit rates rises to 3%
A campaign calling on the government to limit rates rises to 3% has been launched by the Taxpayers Union.
The Taxpayers Union is asking people to join them in sending a letter to the Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Minister for Local Government Simeon Brown.
