Yippee.... Its that time of the year again - and we're delighted to be hosting the Community Christmas day lunch again.
Yes, we're over the moon that once again we can deliver this year's Community Christmas Day lunch again. Due to overwhelming support from some local businesses, the big day is on again!
We've got a magnificent team on the job, Santa's sleigh bells are starting to ring, the hams are on their way and plenty of happy people are on the list to come along.
What I'd love you all to do is pass the message onto anyone you feel could do with some company, or needs a helping hand at what can otherwise be a time of the year that's a bit overwhelming. The details are on the leaflet here.
We have enough volunteers already and thanks to those who have offered their time - you're truly amazing.
For those already booked in, you're in for the time of your life! We can't wait.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.4% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.6% 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.
