My name is Anushka and I'm a year 11 student studying at Epsom Girls' Grammar School and I am doing a scientific investigation that studies the ways that eDNA changes over a period of time between suburban and rural streams. I am working closely with the Auckland Council and would really appreciate your time to fill out this short survey as it would greatly aid my project. The survey will give a great indication on the general public's knowledge and awareness about the issues surrounding our local streams and waterways.

Many Thanks,

Neighbourly is a wonderful site to meet new people, get to know more about our neighbourhoods, up and coming events etc ... and not forgetting we can buy/sell or even give items away for free.
I (personally) think that a bit of courtesy, being respectful and even considerate of others feelings and time is needed when dealing with the buy/sell and free section.
If you are going to respond to a post wanting to purchase or even pick up a free item that you are interested in, please ask yourself, "Am I really going to turn up to pick it up or am I wasting their time?"
Please DON'T waste our time if you are not going to turn up.
The amount of time wasted waiting on people who repeatedly say that they will turn up and never do is surprisingly high.
If you are not going to be decent enough to honestly let us know that you aren't going to turn up or worse, ghost us, please don't bother asking for the item.
There are so many people who normally apply for the same item and all you are doing is making them wait.
To say that it's too far to drive when you can clearly see here on Neighbourly the area that anyone who posts lives in, beggars belief.
I cannot even begin to fathom how your time is more important than mine, especially if the item is FREE!
Will putting a price on it make it more enticing? I some how doubt it.
You will find that quite a few people will be very patient, understanding and fairly flexible with times and you may even get someone who is kind enough to drop off the item to you instead.
There have been quite a lot of times that people who have come to pick up items from me have left with so much more than they bargained for, especially when I'm giving away plants or plant clippings.
I in turn, have also been on the receiving end of someone's generosity.
We all get a lot of joy passing on something to you to make you happy and also to find a new home for the item listed, thus avoiding the dreaded tip or dumping as so many people tend to do.
So please, please be a bit more considerate of those people on here who have taken time out of their day to sell or give something away for free to you.
Rant over!😔

I thought TheWarehouse wanted to bring competition to the food market in NZ - instead they are MORE expensive than CountDown, NewWorld, PaknSave etc.
Example: 1.5 kg Chelsea White Sugar $4, Whittaker 250 g chocolate $6.50, Tararua butter for $8, or two for $9,80? How is that "better" … View moreI thought TheWarehouse wanted to bring competition to the food market in NZ - instead they are MORE expensive than CountDown, NewWorld, PaknSave etc.
Example: 1.5 kg Chelsea White Sugar $4, Whittaker 250 g chocolate $6.50, Tararua butter for $8, or two for $9,80? How is that "better" than the other supermarkets?
Even their famous $4 Butter has disappeared.
Can someone explain this?

It was fantastic talking to them and hearing stories about the man including how he got his nickname (Tarby not Darby). They have sent me the attached statement to share with the community and media. I have put it together as a poster if you would like to save it and share around. It is clear the land was donated for pensioner housing and this should remain the case in the redevelopment.
Additionally I have received a phone call from the lawyers. They are still working on our case and are looking deeply into the sale of the land specifically. No word yet on resource consent and I have a meeting with the CEO of Kāinga Ora next week.
