Committee abandons SPCA ship

Matt Bowen Reporter from Waikato Times

Morning all,

Waikato's beleaguered SPCA branch is no longer under local control.

After closing in December, head office has stepped in and limited services are set to resume on Tuesday, January 31.

Let's hope they're up and running at full capacity again soon.

This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

Remember 86% of Kiwis want to get to know their neighbours better, but just don't see them around much (71%). Take the first step!

Please SLOW DOWN around schools

Waikato District Police
41 mins ·
It's not long now till kids are back to school. That means busy times around mornings and afternoons; kids on bikes, kids on scooters; teenagers on mopeds and driving cars. It means 40km/hr and slower around schools too, and 20km/hr past a stationary school bus.
Yes that is almost snail pace. But kids are unpredictable, and may not appreciate the risk of rushing out onto the road. They are also unskilled at estimating the speed of an oncoming car.
But you have learned those skills; so please; please look after our little people. If you need more convincing; we can put you in contact with people who have lost kids on their way to or from school. They may challenge your perceptions.
