Water

Louise from Clevedon

Come on people the water situation is SERIOUS. I am rural every drop of water is Precious. My showers, baths, dishes, washing machine water is saved daily to feed my garden, very large garden. We are proud of how we save water yet those who are urban are still washing their car, windows, waterings the gardens. The one that angers me the most is the construction site. You drive past to see it running down the drain. Then there is the issue that they have removed ALL of the trees. HELLO WORLD what attracts rain. TREES ! Every single house hold needs to plant a tree for every person in that household, hopefully we will see some rain. Oh water that tree from your shower water you saved not from your hose. Good luck Auckland you are the only ones who can change this situation for the better.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The latest reporting from The Post suggests a wave of optimism for 2026. With interest rates finally heading south, businesses are feeling more positive. But for many on the ground, the real-world recovery feels a bit like a slow-moving commute on Auckland's motorways.

We want to know: Are you seeing signs of Auckland's economy improving in your industry or neighbourhood? Whether it's busier shops, new projects kicking off, or just a shift in the mood ...
