World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

Office for Seniors

Most elder abuse is hidden in plain sight. Abusers are often someone close – a family member, a caregiver, someone trusted. If you’re concerned about how someone is being treated, it’s OK to get help. #ItsOKtoHelp #WEAAD

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?

House Sitters Available

Virinia from Cashmere

Dear Neighbours

We are a hard working trustworthy family of 4 (non smokers/no pets of our own) looking to house sit in the New Year while we market/sell our property in Rolleston with the aim of moving back to the Cashmere area. We have 2 teenage sons who are at Burnside High School and my new job is also based in the central city. We are happy to care for gardens and pets and expect to pay power.

Warm wishes
