"Cheques are Gone...What's Next?"

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

The closure of banks and withdrawals of cheques by government agencies like ACC, Inland Revenue and Kiwibank, is making it harder for “vulnerable” people to manage their money lives.
Pakuranga Senior Net is holding their next meeting on Friday 9 April at 10:00am. Graeme Fitzgerald will speak on "Cheques are Gone...What's Next?"
For more information about this meeting and/or to become a Computer Savvy Senior please visit their website.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

Away overseas in May! Garden Maintenance 🌿

Sole Trader, Owner, Operator from Amy&Louise Garden Services

Hi neighbours! Just a quick update — if flights aren’t disrupted due to the current fuel situation, I’ll be heading overseas from 6th May to 23rd May 2026 to celebrate a family member’s wedding 💍 and spend some quality time with family.

In the meantime, I’m still actively tending to clients’ gardens across the South & East Auckland areas. If you’re needing any garden maintenance before I head away, feel free to send me a DM 🌿

Thanks so much for your continued support — it’s always appreciated!
