Zumba at Kohimarama - Saturday 10 Come and join us!

Eve from Remuera

Hi Neighbours, I joined Gabi's Zumba class about 8 years ago when I was lacking joy and connection in my life.

Gabi's classes have honestly added so much to my life. I am not posting to promote business, I am not associated with her in any business way, but to let you know that Gabi is such a lovely teacher, and I want to support her.

During the Covid lockdowns when we all felt so isolated she kept the classes going online, dancing in her house and we danced in ours. It was one of the things that got me through. It doesn't matter that I am uncoordinated and can't keep up with her, she is so unjudgmental everyone has fun.

Now, since Covid the numbers of people going to her classes have been far lower, and it is nearly not worth it for her to travel from her place to Kohimarama - and I want the class to continue so that is why I am doing this!!

A book of 10 passes is $100, a casual is $15 - come along and see what it is all about - it fun, it is a friendly group, and you get fit as a bonus!!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?

Carpet inspection needed

Karen from Saint Johns

Hi
I've just had new carpet laid throughout my house. I'm not happy with the result, as pieces don't match where they should, and in a hallway there are 5 joins where should not have been more than two. The supplier says there's nothing wrong. I would like a professional carpet person to look at it for an independent assessment. Does anyone know of someone who could do this?
