Don't let the first cold snap catch you out!
Hi Neighbours! I know it feels much too early to be talking about winter...but...every year when the cold snap comes and people turn on their heaters or gas fireplaces we get inundated with call outs for faults or breakdowns.
Don't leave it until the last minute as we can't always guarantee we will get to you in the same day (although we will try our very best!!)
Beat the rush and save 10% on gas heater or gas fireplace servicing if completed by the end of March 2018. Just mention you saw us on Neighbourly.
Give us a call on 04 563 6347 or email: agas@xtra.co.nz
We are always happy to help with any gas or plumbing related queries or questions, so please don't hesitate to get in touch.
All the best

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
Pito-one - the name change...
Minister Chris Penk rejects bid to change Petone's name to Pito One 🤬

Looks like Penk ignored the wishes of the community. Why might that have been? 🤔🤔www.rnz.co.nz...
Anyone know what view the Hutt South MP held on the matter?🤔
