Blankets 4 Kids 4 Winter Project is Underway

Rob from Bucklands Beach

Winter is on its way and the unfortunate truth is that many families in the community will not have enough blankets to keep their kids warm on winter nights.

The Collection Points will again be the Howick Information Centre, Howick Village Optometrist both in Picton Street and Grasslands in Moore Street. An additional collection point has now been added with Placemakers Pakuranga joining the team complete with signage on the Pakuranga Highway.

For those people who would like to support the appeal but do not have spare blankest Howick Rotary have set up their web site www.howickrotary.org.nz... to accept donations or you can click the link buy.stripe.com....

A Big Thank You for Supporting this Wonderful Community Project!

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.

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?

Go and pay Caltex 15cents a litre more if you want to sustain them continuing to scalp us. This has been going on for many months long before the Auckland Petrol Tax was removed.
