The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley

Don from Parklands - Marshlands

This is to try to rectify a problem I caused with my post WELCOME. I was trying to help.
Previously I posted "For those who don't know, when a post comes that a new member has joined Neighbourly, if you click on 'LIKE' , your screen should show the word 'WELCOME', so then click on that.
By ticking LIKE THANKS and REPLY you participate more fully and help others on this website. There are noticable glitches such as the absence of 'reply' which can be very frustrating, but so is life. Cheers all."
. I deliberately used the word SHOULD.
Sandra politely posted that it didn't work for her. It doesn't always work for me or Sandra. I then thought the best way to rectify my posting was to remove my original post as it was misleading. Calamity, greater than throwing the baby out with the bathwater, I actually threw the bath out as well. So ALL the following relevant posts were also deleted (Neighbourly grh). l, likes, thanks and Sandra's posting. Sorry about that, so I post a request for NEIGHBOURLY to advise us what is the fail safe way to acknowledge and welcome new members. Ps I am not holding the air in the two receptables given to me at birth. Don't forget to smile, but cross your fingers when you try to help people. Cheers all

Poll: Pedestrian access is being extended to the Ōtakaro Avon River - good idea?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.

We want to know: In your view, what makes a city people-friendly?
What else should our urban areas be doing to support better community connections?

Curious about the full plans? You can check them out here.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
