Volunteer Moth Weed Exterminators - Community Environment Services Groups

Mrs Lena from Half Moon Bay

I had a Volunteer from SMART Moth Weed Community Group door knock, offering to Kill these wild weed plants around our government housing rented property and inconveniently chose to pile that mess up infront of the only accessible garage door entrance to my garage, meanwhile theres plenty of space around the property to leave park or dump it!? Long shit story short! When Community Environment Volunteer Groups knock DOOR KNOCK offering to Kill Wild & Poisonous Weed Plants, on private or government housing PROPERTIES. That doesn't mean they can make a mess and leave their mess, where ever they want, whenever they want.
In conclusion and as a direct result, the Auckland based SMART Community Leader defended the actions of his Volunteer and suggested I move and hide the mess, their volunteer made, INSIDE MY Red Council Wheelie Bin!! (break council rubbish disposal laws)
A formal complaint has been documented and recorded against the Auckland based SMART Group Leader & Volunteers with NZ Kaiangaora Govt housing, with the intention to prevent community conflict and protect my household (hopefully households in general) from costly intrusive inconsiderate & illegal community service delivery methods, by Community Environment Service Delivery Groups, in future.
Hope this was helpful.

Six tips for improving security around your home

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.

2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.

3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.

4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.

5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.

6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property

Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
