Oak Trees Desperate for Water

Brenda from Twyford

Hi Everyone.
If you travel along Omahu Road during the week, you may notice that several of the young Oak Trees planted by the Council are in desperate need of a drink. Especially the ones at the Fernhill end - between the State Highway 50 turnoff and RioFab (Sheet metal business).
For years now my husband and I have been taking big containers of water with us every time we go out in summer, and watering them. But we don't go out often enough now to make a huge difference.
It would be wonderful if a few more people did this, and helped keep them alive and growing. Our/your rates paid for them to go in and it would be a shame if we lost them.
It's not a huge task but would make a big difference if some of you could do this too.
A word of warning though, make sure you pull well off the road before getting out of your vehicle along Omahu Road. We don't want any accidents!
Hopefully thanking your in advance :)

Brenda

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Camera footage

Calla from Parkvale

Hi does anyone in the Raureka Hastings area have cameras on or facing towards Oliphant road that were operating on 27th Feb that could have captured a black hatchback vehicle between 10.25-10.40am travelling down Oliphant road and running over my friends dog. The vehicle dragged the dog and stopped by the shop and got out to have a look then took off. Any assistance be greatly appreciated. Thanks
