Poll: Should your neighbours be allowed to pick your fruit?

Jocelyn from Glen Innes

Did you know that according to Auckland Community Law, if you cut down a branch from your neighbour’s tree, which is encroaching on your property, you need to return the fruit that that branch bore to the owner?
However, if the fruit falls naturally outside of the property, anyone can gather it.

With urban foraging and communal gardening becoming more popular, should the Communal laws be changed, or is the owner entitled to all the fruit and herbs grown from their property?

Please let me know if you have any other opinions or have a personal experience that is the exception. I would love to hear it. Type 'Not For Print' or NFP if you wish your comments to be excluded from any publications resulting from this project.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Lost blue embossed scarf

Andrea Neighbourly Lead from St Heliers

Hi Everyone. Just on the off chance someone may have spotted my very pretty scarf/ stole, I am trying Neighbourly as a means to find it. It is a light blue colour with gold bumble bees embossed on top . It may have slipped off my shoulders without me realising. My mobile is 021-817-246 and fingers crossed it may turn up. Thank you.
