Hi everyone not a bad start to the long weekend. Today is more of a reminder for when you out and about

Could the jury service process be improved?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Every year, thousands of New Zealanders are called up to serve as jurors in the High and District Courts, and it's an important way to contribute to your country.

But for some, jury service can be a huge disruption and a financial burden. Do you think changes could be made to our jury … View moreEvery year, thousands of New Zealanders are called up to serve as jurors in the High and District Courts, and it's an important way to contribute to your country.

But for some, jury service can be a huge disruption and a financial burden. Do you think changes could be made to our jury service system to address these challenges?

Seeking Pet Friendly Rental

Rosalie from Papatoetoe

Hi everyone. My name is Rosalie and I’m looking for a 2 (or potentially 3) bedroom place for my little boy and I. I’d like to stay as close to Papatoetoe as possible, so I’m looking at Papatoetoe, Otahuhu, Otara, Mangere and the surrounding suburbs. I can afford rent up to $630/week, however … View moreHi everyone. My name is Rosalie and I’m looking for a 2 (or potentially 3) bedroom place for my little boy and I. I’d like to stay as close to Papatoetoe as possible, so I’m looking at Papatoetoe, Otahuhu, Otara, Mangere and the surrounding suburbs. I can afford rent up to $630/week, however there is a little flexibility here. It must be pet friendly as we have two little cats - Evie and Savy. They’re well behaved and house trained. Evie enjoys snoozing in the sun, whereas Savy loves to be outside or playing with the toddler. Ideally we’d like a backyard or deck, but this is not a dealbreaker.
I can provide good references. I also have clean credit and police checks. If you have anything suitable, or want more information, please don’t hesitate to send me a message. Thanks 😊
