Don comments .....
A few months ago my team led by Sergeant Gwilliam initiated a quick response approach focusing on local retail crime in Onehunga.
We have seen an amazing result considering all the other demands that community policing require of our team.

Check points will increase in Auckland over the next few months for drivers to take a roadside evidential breath test.

Don has put information on "Trees and boundaries in relation to trimming" & "Can I cut back branches or roots encroaching from my neighbours property" "What can I do if a neighbour’s tree is dangerous or blocking the view or light?" "Who pays for the work if the court makes an order to remove or trim a tree? " " What if the neighbour doesn’t carry out the court order? "

Onehunga Community Patrol - what they do and how to join.
This is a very worthwhile & helpful community activity.... check it out if you feel you'd like to help.

Stay safe and Spring is here with lambs and blossoms

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
