Community Constable Don Allan's newsletter

Colleen from Onehunga

Happy Christmas to all :-) Here's Don's last newsletter for the year, Please pass it on there's helpful advice & information for all areas.
Stay Safe

Hi All,

This is my last shift for the year before I head off on Annual Leave this afternoon. I intend to return to the office on the first week of February 2022.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the support this year. With the direct support of residents, police have been able to resolve a number of serious criminal offences that occurred in our community, including a number of burglaries and vehicle related crime incidents. My goal for 2022 is to expand my community Watch and Neighbourhood support networks through our neighbourhoods so if you would like to help, email me directly early February and we will get something established.

On a whole we have had a pretty good year. There was spike in vehicle crime mid-year, however crime is actually tracking in the right direction, and each year we generally improve on the previous year’s crime numbers.

Please keep safe over the Christmas period. If you are planning to travel out of Auckland, please watch your speed on our open roads and ensure you take in plenty of rest stops during your journey and watch your following distances.

There is likely to be very little tolerance for ‘open road speeders’ so please be patient on your travels and stick to the posted speed limits.

I wish everyone the very best of health over the coming season.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

from Don & Piper

Tools and equipment can be a big investment for a contractor or tradie.

Alan Storage from Kiwi Self Storage - Ellerslie

You need to keep your investment secure but at the same time have the right tools when you need them. You might be between jobs and your stuff is taking up room at home or in the workshop you could be using for something else.

Speaking of home, your neighbour's van was broken into last week and he lost his tools and a lot of materials that will take time to replace. Plus you cant park it outside your house anymore as your street looks like Wilson Parking.

Another issue is that you work on several different projects during the day and it takes a long time to drive back to base to pick up the materials and right tools for the next job.

Where Self Storage Comes In.

Kiwi self Storage has five storage facilities in Auckland and Wellington. Our facilities are secure, dry and conveniently located close to major highways or roads. There are several ways that renting a storage unit can be the right move for you:

- Your tools and business inventory is safely secured behind electric fences with coded gate entry and CCTV monitoring. No more worry about items left in your van or on site overnight.

- You can store at a facility that is centrally located compared to where you work, meaning you can easily come back to pick up more materials or tools during the day without wasting time in traffic.

- Easy access with undercover loading and unloading

- Have materials or items couriered to your unit (conditions apply)

- You have full control over access to your unit - you provide the padlock

- You can scale the unit size up or down at any time to match the needs of your business

- You can install shelving to make the most of your unit.

- After one month you are only charged on a daily basis. Simply provide notice if you wish to move out.

- Insurance available

To find out more phone us to speak to our helpful staff. You can arrange to come in and discuss your needs with them and have a look around our facilities. Or have a look at our website and contact us for an easy quote.
