Matt Campbell & Lleuarne Panoho
It was an absolute pleasure to join the Beach Haven & Birkdale Community Watch patrol last night with Lleuarne Panoho for Kaipātiki Local Board
Patrols like this are key to help stop crime and antisocial behaviour and help establish safe caring communities. I’ve been a member of Neighbourhood Support for several years and a street contact on Rangatira Road so community-led action on crime is super important to me.
I was particularly impressed with the gentle monitoring style of the patrols, being seen with clear branding, filing reports on to the police where appropriate, and keeping it local to build trust and stronger connections with the community.
Beach Haven & Birkdale Community Watch are doing great work and have awesome plans for the future but need help. If you are able to volunteer with a two hour patrol once a week or once a month do get in touch. Also these patrols depend on your generosity to keep going so please support them on their Give A Little page.

I look forward to volunteering on more patrols in the near future so that we get more patrols in Beach Haven and Birkdale.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
