Hamilton Gardens
Thanks to Councillor Angela O'Leary yesterday at Council, she has pushed through a resolution that a proper business managment plan be adopted for the Gardens. This will mean that every avenue for revenue/expenses will be looked at to enable the remaining Gardens to be finished within a proper time frame. This will also mean that any indication of entry fees being charged will be thoroughly discussed and probably taken out to public consultation. So there is no need to panic everybody. She has had more people contact her on her Facebook page regarding this matter than there were people voting in the last local body elections. How strange is that? People don't vote to choose their representatives but they jump up and down when one of those people suggest an idea to charge for something!!! The old saying goes.........if you haven't voted - you have no right to complain....
How very true.... But I'm glad so many people reacted as I'm a passionate supporter/volunteer at the Gardens and its great to know they are so supported by everyone.

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.3% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.7% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
