Ahead of this month's election, this is a chance to tell our country's aspiring leaders how optimistic or pessimistic you and your neighbours are feeling about the future. And it's just 10 short multi-choice questions!
Take the survey today and we'll put you in the draw to win one of two $100 Prezzy® cards.
The findings will be reported next weekend in the Sunday Star-Times and on Neighbourly.co.nz.
A New liquor store is being proposed for Milton St / Barrington Street corner and submissions are due to close by 6th September. Very little information has been released about this latest ?'Bottle O' liquor store - possibly very similar to the one opened in Selwyn Street on Friday.
… View moreA New liquor store is being proposed for Milton St / Barrington Street corner and submissions are due to close by 6th September. Very little information has been released about this latest ?'Bottle O' liquor store - possibly very similar to the one opened in Selwyn Street on Friday.
Despite submissions this Selwyn Street liquor store was able to obtain a license and open.
There are already adequate options in Barrington Mall / Spreydon area without another liquor store encouraging our youth and already alcohol dependent residents living/ drinking in the Barrington Park area.
There is Super Liquor Barrington, Barrington Fresh Choice and other bars in the area - do we need another one in the area???
Please sign the online petition via Change.org or write in a submission to let them know your views and if /where possible please speak in support of your views.
To make an objection please email: alcohollicensing@ccc.govt.nz
Objections have even more impact than petitions apparently.
Thanks for your support to make our community safer and healthier!
Warm Regards Julie Tobbell.

Where can I go for free budgeting advice?
There are several non-profit organisations that can help you with budgeting advice.
Your local Citizens Advice Bureau can help you find a budgeting service that suits your situation. Some CABs also run regular budgeting clinics.
The Financial Capability Trust website and the Family Services directory also list budgeting services and financial mentors around New Zealand.
You can also get budgeting and debt management information and advice on the Sorted website.
You might be interested in joining a local MoneyMates groups. These are support groups for people wanting to improve their budgeting skills.
How do I avoid getting into unmanageable debt?
It mostly boils down to living within your means – in other words, spending no more than the amount you earn and only borrowing money (e.g. a student loan) if you are confident of your ability to pay it back.
You can do this by putting together a budget which lists your total income and all of your expenses. You can download a budget worksheet for free from The Budgeting Hub website or the Work and Income website, or use the online budgeting tool on the Sorted website.
A budget advisory service (see above) can help you put a budget together and work out ways for you to reduce your spending or increase your income.
The Sorted website also has advice to help you manage your debt.
