Dear Neighbors
I'm asking with all sincerity and honesty as to whether anybody has
purchase any Household Funiture, Tools and other equipment from a supposed secret Sale by " SUPREME Lockups & Storage " over the last few months.
I've had a personel problem with the above outfit, and only became aware of the situation over the weekend, when I found a listing on "Fb " Groups page on the far right of the web-page, and happened to find all
my Fly Fishing gear up for sale, by an individual in Carterton.
I messaged him asking about the gear, and was soon removed of the site.
I'm sincerely asking, that if any of you have purchased anything from "Supreme Lockups" in this regard, I would "Dearly" like to purchase items back that was of my ownership.
Nobody who has been involved in any purchase's, will not be treated in nasty or unneccessary manner, as it's just I've got to try and retreive a lot
of Family History.
This is a situation that nobody in their live needs or wants this sort of situation to happen, so just ask you all from the bottom of my heart for your consideration.

Please, if you can help me, send me an email to "toy98peu@gmail.com"

Thanks
Kind Regards
John

Poll: No more card payment surcharges – but who should be covering the cost? 💸

The Government says it's scrapping those annoying card surcharges – and it’s happening next year.

Consumer NZ is stoked, saying these sneaky surcharges cost Kiwis around $65 million a year and should’ve been gone ages ago.

But not everyone’s convinced it’s a win. Labour and Hospitality NZ are worried the costs won’t just disappear. Labour MP Arena Williams put it simply: there should not be surcharges for customers at all. But she points out that the Government’s plan does not deal with banks and merchants “who still scoop a big fee”.

Many of our community are rocked by the recent announcement. Retailers warn card surcharge ban could lead to higher prices - the unfortunatel reality is that small businesses are feeling the squeeze along with their customers. In comparison, large retailers pay significantly lower banking fees and ultimately have more leverage at the negotiation table.

💸 So someone still pays – but who?

We want to know: Who should be covering this cost?

Thanks to a generous gift, 730 Hectares in Kaituna Valley are now protected for everyone to enjoy

Four incredible donors have come together to gift 730 hectares of land in the Kaituna Valley to the nation — a multimillion-dollar contribution that will benefit generations to come.

This land, which has now been protected and opened to the public, forms part of a much larger conservation area — nearly 2,400 hectares stretching from sea level at Whakaraupō/Lyttelton Harbour, up to the Summit Walkway, and back down into the Kaituna Valley.

Once used for farming, the land has now been cleared of livestock, and pest control efforts are underway to help native plants and wildlife thrive. The goal? A richer, more diverse ecosystem that everyone can experience and be proud of.

This is a powerful example of how the actions of a few can have a huge impact. Thanks to their vision and generosity, a precious piece of our natural heritage is now protected.

Read more about the Massive win for conservation and recreation in the Kaituna.

We hope this news brings a smile!
