Community Constable Don Allan's newsletter
Hi Neighbours, Thank goodness Don is back, all fixed and good as new from his recent surgery:-) We're so lucky we have him to keep us in the loop, thank you Don.............
Hi All,
I hope you are all keeping safe and well.
Unfortunately due to personal circumstances I was not able to send out last months police newsletter with crime updates, however I can report there were no increases in crime during September 2021.
I have now returned to the office for light duties after hernia surgery (very minor, but necessary) however I will be resuming full duties from the 15th of November in just over a week’s time, so I will officially be allowed out and about.
Due to the current situation in Auckland, I will now be doing shift work working alongside my team and this will incorporate a mix of early and late shifts. Regardless, once the alert system allows, I will make myself available to attend and support any community and crime prevention meetings and engagements when needed.
As for Covid19, You’re probably all sick to death with hearing about this situation, however You must know that we do have covid19 cases in Onehunga where people are self- isolating, so the risk of transmission is right on our doorstep.
Please continue to follow recommendations and guidelines and continue to maintain social distancing of at least 1-2 meters depending on your situation and location, do not solely rely on a mask. A layered approach is the key to keeping well. Get vaccinated, socially distance, mask up, sanitise etc. The more layers of protection you have the less chance of catching the “coof”
Also, Boost your vitamin D and Zinc for increased immunity benefits.
Kind regards
Don

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

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?
