Poll: Should your neighbours be allowed to pick your fruit?

Jocelyn from Glen Innes

Did you know that according to Auckland Community Law, if you cut down a branch from your neighbour’s tree, which is encroaching on your property, you need to return the fruit that that branch bore to the owner?
However, if the fruit falls naturally outside of the property, anyone can gather it.

With urban foraging and communal gardening becoming more popular, should the Communal laws be changed, or is the owner entitled to all the fruit and herbs grown from their property?

Please let me know if you have any other opinions or have a personal experience that is the exception. I would love to hear it. Type 'Not For Print' or NFP if you wish your comments to be excluded from any publications resulting from this project.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Feeling overwhelmed?

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours - If you feel like you can easily get swamped or snowed under, that is something Mindfulness can help with. My clients report that practicing mindfulness helps them feel they can cope better with stressful situations, feeling less overwhelmed.
Mindfulness trains us to paying attention to the present moment, which creates space to observe your thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them.

I run sessions on the third Monday of each month at Meadowbank Community Centre, 1.30, 75 mins - Next one Monday 16th
The session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation.
Contact me - the first session free, then Koha welcome. 021 255 1485
