We already have our first one in Royal Oak, Auckland and 20 more to come over the next few months. Those 20 received have funding from the Government’s Electric Vehicle Contestable Fund, meaning we have been able to roll these charging stations out to areas that haven’t seen them before.

Quite a few people in our area have reported receiving a large number of scam emails. NetSafe have created a service people can forward the emails to, and they will deal with them by creating a bogus automated responder which wastes the scammers' time to slow them down from scamming new victims.
"If you’ve received a scam email, forward it to me@rescam.org and we’ll take it from there. We’ll even send you an unedited summary of the conversations Re:scam has had with the scammer – sometimes they can be quite humorous."
You can find out more about Re:scam and how it works at www.rescam.org......

Worth a try. One may pick up some hints to try on the 'Phone scammers' too 😝

Over the years we've just accepted that Masterton and Carterton have been lumped together and there are different charging zones for South Wairarapa and north of Mt Bruce. Should we accept this status quo or lobby for one landline zone for the whole of Wairarapa. Your thoughts?
