Girl Guide Volunteer Leaders wanted
Hi everyone,
I'm Marie and I'm a Brownies (Girl Guide) leader at St Lukes.
We are looking for a new leader to join our unit, so if this is something that interests you (or someone you know), please get in touch! Here's my ad below:
Do you have a desire to give back to the community and help build happy, confident, and resilient young women? Then becoming a leader in GirlGuiding could be for you. Our Leaders come from a wide range of places, ages, and backgrounds. No previous Guiding experience is needed, many of our leaders have never been involved before
Our St Lukes Brownie Unit (girls aged 7-9 years) need volunteer adult leaders to join them today! Our Unit meets on Monday from 6:00-7:30pm.
If you are passionate about positive outcomes and experiences for Girls and Young Women apply now on our website at Join Us - Adventure and Leadership - GirlGuiding New Zealand (girlguidingnz.org.nz)

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

What is happening to our services?
Hi Neighbours
I'm concerned as to the level of services in our city, while our rates keep going up!
A short while ago we had 3 bins damaged in 1 rubbish-day pick-up. It took close to 6 weeks to resolve and I had to repeatedly follow-up progress as the case was closed 2x without any action - one of those instances stated they "couldn't find the bins" but they had never moved from the kerb side they are collected from since they got damaged.
Similarly I reported a small water leak on 1-Aug to Watercare just outside our property, on council land. I heard nothing back and the stream of water running grew and grew. I followed it up last week, only to be told it had been thoroughly investigated and it was not a Watercare issue. If I wanted to resolve it, I could pay a plumber. Yesterday I saw the water reader and said to him the running water is a problem - he agreed. I re-reported it and today it is being fixed - by Watercare - as it is gushing. They repairers assured me it is for sure a Watercare issue.
What can we do about this? We don't pay faulty money - but we get faulty service. It's not good enough.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
