Dogs at Beaches & Conservancies
Dear dog owners,
Please remember to keep your fur babies on a leash while walking at the beach or within a Conservancy. Your dog may be perfectly well-behaved off-leash, but another dog it may encounter, not so much. There are also other people/kids walking in these areas who are not comfortable around dogs (large or small); and if your dog is not on a leash this can be quite distressing for them.
Please remember that there are some with a phobia (Cynophobia), who would also like to enjoy the outdoors.
I do understand that there are places dogs are allowed to be off-leash but we still need to consider all living around us as we share the same spaces. :-)
Thank you for understanding.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.3% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.7% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
