Success and progress for Howick Botany Neighbourhood Support
Howick Botany Neighbourhood Support are very pleased to announce success in two funding bids to improve Neighbourhood Support in this area.
1. Howick Local Board has provided a grant to support the work of Street Coordinators and the setting up of new groups in local streets.
2. We have been granted funds by Neighbourhood Support New Zealand to upgrade our technology and administration systems.
These two grants are major steps in our aim to improve coverage of Neighbourhood Support in Howick and Botany and make our streets safer from crime.
In further steps to improve the coverage and effectiveness of Neighbourhood Support:
We have received new street signage and documentation from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand, and
A Training Meeting for existing and potential Street Coordinators is to be held on 7th July 7:30 to 9:30pm at Willowbank School staffroom.
