Community Constable Don Allan's newsletter - Feb issue
Hey Neighbours,
Team Blue have been very busy as usual along with a minor flood in the Onehunga Station public counter area resulting in it's temporary closure. If you need to visit the station it may be best to call them first to see where the repairs are up to.
When you read the newsletter you'll see reported crime in January was higher than average for this time of year
Also ... in 7 days across Auckland District stolen number plates rose by 400% !!!!!
The community policing team have 2 new members from Police college joining the ranks. You'll read some of the tasks the community policing team do along with assisting with other Police work.
Crimestoppers number is 0800 555 111 for reporting crime anonymously.
*555 for bad driving or boy racer activity
105 is the Police Crime reporting line - for non urgent reporting of an offence/suspicious behaviour.
There's plenty of information in the newsletter from Don in ways to keep yourself and your property safe.
It would be great if you could pop Don an email and thank him for his efforts with the newsletter in keeping us informed about our community.
Stay safe Neighbours
Regards
Colleen

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
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?
-
81.6% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
18.4% No. This would be impossible in practice.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
