Maintaining your Independence

Janita from Driving Miss Daisy - Botany

Keeping your independence is something this is very
important to most people; they value being able to

Keeping your independence is something this is very
important to most people; they value being able to
go about their daily life without feeling like they’re
being a burden on family members or friends.
When your independence is compromised through
disability or loss of your license, this can make life
less enjoyable to begin with. However, there’s no
reason that you can’t still remain in control of your
life and do what you want to do at a time that suits
you.

Furthermore, studies have shown the importance
of social interaction for maintaining optimal health
and wellbeing. That can be as simple as a trip to the
supermarket or coffee with friends. Sometimes, it
can be more adventurous and include trips further
afield, as the heart desires.

Total Mobility Scheme

In order to encourage social interaction and
independence, the government created an initiative
called the Total Mobility Scheme, which is delivered
locally by your regional council.

The Scheme is designed to assist clients with long term
impairments to access appropriate transport to
meet their daily needs and enhance their community
participation.

For further information contact your local Age
Concern, they are happy to help you find out if you
are eligible and advise you how to apply.

Once you’ve been accepted, you can access
discounted travel with many providers in your
region and throughout New Zealand, including
with Driving Miss Daisy who is an accredited Total

Mobility Scheme provider. Driving Miss Daisy
provides assistance to help you to maintain your
independence, and always aims to put the joy back in
the journey. Your independence is key to us and we
love knowing that we’re making a difference in our
clients lives.

Driving Miss Daisy will take you wherever you want
to go, at a time that suits you. Call us today to discuss your requirements or to make a booking Ph. 09 534 7712 or 0211749999

Should Auckland's power lines head underground?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Do you often lose power at your home during bad weather? Auckland lines company Vector forecasts climate change will increase the risk of power outages from high winds, floods and dry winters. So should the city be looking at putting more lines underground?

Hi neighbours,

Do you often lose power at your home during bad weather? Auckland lines company Vector forecasts climate change will increase the risk of power outages from high winds, floods and dry winters. So should the city be looking at putting more lines underground?

The argument over "undergrounding" power lines boiled over in April when a powerful storm brought down power lines in the city, leaving about 5000 residents without electricity for at least three days.

So what are your thoughts on the topic? Are underground lines a good idea? Or do you think it would be a waste of time and money? Let us know in the replies! (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/comments used on Stuff.)
