Hey Neighbours,
Team Blue have been very busy as usual along with a minor flood in the Onehunga Station public counter area resulting in it's temporary closure. If you need to visit the station it may be best to call them first to see where the repairs are up to.

Also ... in 7 days across Auckland District stolen number plates rose by 400% !!!!!
The community policing team have 2 new members from Police college joining the ranks. You'll read some of the tasks the community policing team do along with assisting with other Police work.
Crimestoppers number is 0800 555 111 for reporting crime anonymously.
*555 for bad driving or boy racer activity
105 is the Police Crime reporting line - for non urgent reporting of an offence/suspicious behaviour.
There's plenty of information in the newsletter from Don in ways to keep yourself and your property safe.
It would be great if you could pop Don an email and thank him for his efforts with the newsletter in keeping us informed about our community.
Stay safe Neighbours
Regards
Colleen

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.5% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.6% No, I enjoy it
-
1.9% Other - I'll share below

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
