Is anyone noticing a large amount of sand in their tap water? Not sure if this is normal or if the water supply is affected by the dry weather?

Two competitions have been running on the sidelines of the usual Neighbourly activity and what better time to announce the lucky and well deserving winners than the week before Christmas!

- We joined forces with Electric Kiwi in order to hunt for a truly Awesome Neighbour. And we did just that, infact we found 4 incredible Neighbourly neighbours. Click here to see who won an Awesome Neighbour prize and read their Awesome story!
- We also teamed up with SuperValue to run the Christmas Survival Guide challenge. We asked Neighbourly members to tell us their Christmas Survival tip, click here to find out whose tip came out on top, to be selected to win a $100 SuperValue voucher.
Three major art galleries are temporarily closed or closing in Wellington and Porirua over the summer. Luckily the Dowse is staying open.

This Christmas when you cook a succulent ham, crank up the BBQ, and tuck into some trifle, remember to pour leftover fats, oils and food scraps into the bin, not down the drain.

#Fatbergs (clumps of congealed fat) clog and damage your pipes, and could cost you thousands of dollars to repair if the damage happens within your property boundary.
You don't want to start the new year with a big plumbers bill!
Watch what you're putting down the drain this festive season and keep fatbergs away!

Last summer we embarked on an ambitious project to make a dent in the wasp population in the Nelson region. We fundraised and were able to lay 390km of bait lines in some of the region's most popular recreational areas, effectively making 10,000 hectares wasp free.
This summer we are delighted to announce we are expanding the programme to other parts of the country which are also affected by high wasp numbers. Vespex is laid in bait stations in late January and February when wasps change to a protein-based diet. It is of low toxicity and safe for bees. Results from last summer showed it has a 95%-99% success rate.
While a small amount of work is Government funded, we're going to raise more funds to get as many areas baited as possible, and we need your help. Go to our Popshop page to contribute to a wasp-free region
So join us in the battle. The more we raise the more areas we can cover.

Our favourite thing about Christmas is the wonderful Christmas COLOURS that pop up as Santa's arrival approaches. Greens reds and golds dotted around town remind us that it's so easy to put a little colour into someone else's Christmas...
