Senior Constable Don Allan's monthly newsletter

Colleen from Onehunga

Hi Neighbours,
I've attached Don's latest newsletter, good news - Hillsborough, Onehunga, Epsom & Penrose had a 17% decrease in crime last month , but wait there's more - Police recovered 26 stolen motor vehicles in our community - wahoo.
The Police recently, as a "safer roads 3 road policing operation" conducted several Police check points throughout Auckland where over 5000 drivers were stopped for passive breath tests . ( see page 2 of the newsletter for the results) "Drivers stopped by Police are required to state their name & address so the breath testing device may determine if alcohol is present on the breath of the driver." There are consequences if one refuses to comply with the info. ( see page 3 & 4 for consequences and the current breath alcohol limits & penalties)
The streets with multiple reported incidents were:
Onehunga Mall (11 incidents) 5 x burg, 3 x stolen motor, vehicle 3 x theft x-car
Moana Ave (5 incidents) 4x burgs 1 x stolen vehicle
Arthur St ( 5 incidents) 1 Theft from a car, 4 x stolen vehicles Heretaunga Ave ( 4 incidents) 4 x stolen vehicles

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
