And they're off... ๐๐จ
Cissy and Sam, have recently hit the road in the lead up to the 10th celebration of Neighbours Day Aotearoa. As they drive across the country theyโll be running workshops and reaching out to meet people who are working to create great neighbourhoods across New Zealand - like our members!
Whether you're planning a Neighbours Day Event or just want to come along and share ideas, these workshops are a great way to further connect with your local community and see how you can come together to support each other.
Join in on the fun by seeing if the road trip is coming to your corner of the country at the link below.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesnโt have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
