Letter from ICC, Community Development Officer.
I was a member of the ICC Neighbourhood Support Programme.
I received a letter from the Community Development Officer, telling me that the ICC will no longer be running the Neighbourhood Support Programme. The letter thanks me for my involvement and support over the years.
Concluded in the letter is a message that we all continue to connect with our neighbours, and make our streets friendlier and safer.
Simply by waiving and saying hello over the fence, coming around to introducing yourself, when new residents in the street arrive. Catching up with neighbours for an occasional cuppa.
Now with Covid19 and level 2 in the way, this is a little more challenging to remain safe. Adhering to the Levels requirements to be aware of possible dangers if the Covid19 virus escapes.
Sharing phone numbers and email addresses are still a way of connecting with neighbours also.
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.
