Whether it’s organising a street clean up, helping a neighbour tidy up their property, putting together a working bee to paint a community mural, or installing a communal free kai pantry or library - there are so many ways to make our neighbourhoods that much more enjoyable for everyone.

Could native birds replace pesticides?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Just as honeybees pollinating orchards provide a service that benefits humans through fruit production, birds provide a valuable service too. What native birds do you see in your garden?

Hey neighbours,

The proposed South Express cycleway, which links Templeton to Hagley Park, will turn sections of residential streets into culs-de-sac and also see about 65 trees replaced.

New traffic signals will be added at 11 intersections along the route.

The work is part of the council's $252m major cycleways programme that will see suburbs connected to the central city through 13 separate routes.

What do you think of the plans? How will the roading changes affect you? Do you think this is the best use of the NZ Transport Agency's funding?

Hey neighbours,

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.

The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.

They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.

What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?

Better still, they’re a snap to make, especially if you have ready-grated tasty and parmesan cheese from Mainland in the fridge.

For the more adventurous eaters, finish each muffin with a little wedge of Brie, Noble or Blue cheese. You might not be able to resist sneaking a couple for your own lunch!
