๐Ÿ‘€It's vanished ... where has it gone?๐Ÿ‘€

Fiona from Henderson

Where has that wonderful thread called "Be a tidy Christmas kiwi" gone?
It was posted by The Team (at Neighbourly) and I'm thinking that they may've meant to close comments but have instead deleted the whole thread.

Where has that wonderful thread called "Be a tidy Christmas kiwi" gone?
It was posted by The Team (at Neighbourly) and I'm thinking that they may've meant to close comments but have instead deleted the whole thread.
What an absolute shame as there was some great reading in there and so many great ideas and hints for this time of year and current situation/s.
So many people contributed to it and it would be nice to read the rest of the comments from who posted after we had gone to bed.
If the powers that be at Neighbourly Notices (as I couldn't find the tag for The Team at Neighbourly) could reinstate it please, that would be absolutely grand.
Thank you in advance๐Ÿ˜‰

Face masks are now gracing vending machines at transport stations around Auckland.

The masks feature in 42 machines at bus and rail stations along with ferry wharves.

Auckland Mayor Phil Goff has praised the initiative.

โ€œThe more simple and convenient we can make it to wear a mask, the greater the uptake will be," he said.

โ€œThis will mean passengers who may have lost or forgotten their mask can get one quickly and easily and avoid missing their journey."

AT has bought 1500 masks to go into into the machines.

Aucklanders can buy a pack of four masks for $9.

Hi neighbours,

Aucklanders will see their rates bills soar 5 per cent to help counteract a $1 billion fall in council revenue over the next four years.

The one-off hike, up from a planned 3.5 per cent increase, will add $36 to the rates bill of an average value home before annual increases return to the previous path of 3.5 per cent rises.

The proposed increase is included in the update of Auckland Council's 10-year budget, which starts in July.

Meanwhile, locals will be pinged for using a hose without the correct nozzle.

The council says splashpads recycle a high percentage of water, and the centres themselves have made significant water savings in the last nine months.
