Thank you for using Neighbourly
just wondering do a lot of you dog owners out there use the dog park at south city and if so do you recommend it?
Southland has had a bleak summer but that all changed last weekend.
And what a wonderful time for the sun to start shining - a long weekend.
I was beginning to think togs were obsolete in Southland - but not last weekend.

Let's be honest. The closest I have ever come to shearing a sheep is wearing a woollen jumper or shaving my legs after a long winter.

That means boys can also be protected against some types of cancer.
HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop, the viruses are mostly transmitted by teenagers and young adults but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they are young. Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV at some point in their life. Protecting children before they are exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.
For more information about HPV immunisation, see www.health.govt.nz/hpv

Community, Neighbours and Residents of Invercargill
A public forum is being held to discuss the Invercargill City Councils proposal to sell off the Teviot Street Reserve (UPDATE)
This is the first of two meetings:
Meeting One: Is for all interested parties to get together and think about/discuss the dreams and aspirations of the community for the use of the reserve. If money was no object and you could do anything with this space what would it be? How could the Teviot street reserve community get the best use out of this green space?
Meeting to be held
Date: Wednesday 8th February
Time: 6 pm
Place: Teviot St Reserve Scout Hall
If you can’t make this meeting and still wish to be involved, please email through your ideas and I can present them for you. I will keep you informed. Contact: Kaye Fraser email: saveteviotreserve@gmail.com
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The invite extends to all interested parties from residents near and far including different organisations, as well as those passionate about the cause. This cause has brought our community together and this allows us the opportunity to show the council that we see the reserve to be a vital part of the betterment of our life style, community and ongoing well-being.
Please come prepared to share your thoughts and ideas with us, we welcome children (because sometimes kids have the best ideas) and any person that has an interest in saving the reserve for future generations. I will also present some new information that will help us all in trying to stop the reserve status from being lifted.
Meeting Two: Do you need help putting together your submission? Unsure how to tell your story? Never written a submission? Then we will help you by guiding you through the process of writing a submission so you feel comfortable writing your own. We will also look at finalising the co-designed community idea/proposal to use as part of our larger community submission.
Date and time to be confirmed
