Peter Oosthoek retired near Chartwell Shopping Centre for a one-stop shop for all his needs - but now he can’t go there.
The 66-year-old seeing impaired pensioner was trespassed while doing his fortnightly shopping at Woolworths on July 16.
Free. Must pick up.
Worked 4 years ago but hasn't been used since. Freestanding. Timber sides need some TLC.

The owner has tried everything in his power - from pulling down the steel door to calling the cops - but nothing seems to work at the prominent central city site that’s become an eyesore.

A vacant Hamilton site has become an unofficial dumping ground, with everything from broken kids’ toys to beer cans. Even an empty Christmas stocking is among the debris - which comes with absolutely no festive cheer.

NZTA / Waka Kotahi scam:
- The scam is a text message saying it's from New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, and it encourages the recipient to pay an overdue road toll by visiting a fake website, threatening to take the matter to court within 15 days if they don’t pay up.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- While it is not the first time toll payments have been utilised by scammers, the threat of court action could see more people fall victim.
- The sender will either be a unknown phone number or unknown email address.
Want to report one of these scams? Do so, on Netsafe
NZ Post scam:
- This scam arrives by test message and says it's from NZ Post.
- The premise is that delivery of your parcel was unsuccessful so in order to rearrange delivery. you must click on a link to give your correct address.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- NZ Post advises people not to click the link, but to report the message to the Department of Internal Affairs by forwarding it to 7726.
Think you may have fallen prey to a scam? Get in touch with Netsafe or contact your bank if it involved your bank details.
Remember, if you didn't expect the message and you are now asked to share personal details or money, then stop contact and seek advice elsewhere.
Feel free to share any below that you've encountered recently. This may help others across the country be aware.
