Garage Sale in Linwood - Tomorrow! (Saturday 9 March)

Suzie from Linwood

We are planning to head overseas during the year so have started clearing out our things now! We have a large selection of household items, books, linens, a set of golf clubs and and clothes. You can come and check out our SpringFree trampoline and swing set in the backyard which we will also be selling (most likely through TradeMe but open to good offers!!). Other things on offer are some bedding including two single electric blankets (in great condition), a portacot and two snow sleds. There is a large outdoor umbrella, single duvet, girls duvet cover set with matching pillowcase, summer weight sleeping bags, camp stretchers for kids, old TV cabinet (free to a good home). Our address is 13 Woodhouse St (off Gloucester) and we'll be running the sale from 8:30am to midday. Photos were taken when we first tried to have this sale in the middle of the summer holidays and had three people turn up (clearly not a good time of year) and we have added a LOT more since then. Come and make an offer!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
