Hi One employer says there's no safe way to walk to work at Silverdale business park. He's been trying to get the council to install a footpath and pedestrian crossings. Stuff found out there's a plan for a pedestrian crossing but no footpaths as yet.

Hi neighbours Have you got a life hack that's, genius, makes life that little bit easier or - better yet - saves you money?

Life hacks are DIY solutions for every day problems. They're the sort of simple fix-its you stumble across and wonder why the world didn't tell you sooner. Everyone has at least one in their kit bag for getting through the day to day grind and we'd love to hear yours. If you have video, you could post that too. We'll publish the best submissions so everyone can benefit. cheers Jodi Put NFP in your post if it is not for publication.

This year Age Concern New Zealand want all New Zealanders to sign up as Age Concern Dignity Champions and stand up for the human rights of older Kiwis.
“There is no excuse for elder abuse, says Stephanie Clare, Age Concern New Zealand Chief Executive. I am appalled that we are still having to deal with cases each day where older people are taken advantage of.
“Just because someone is older it doesn’t mean they are less valuable, have less purpose or should lose basic human rights, the right to make their own choices and respect from those around them.
“Of the cases we see, 75% of alleged abusers are family members, either adult children or partners of adult children and that needs to stop!
“So come on Kiwis we all have a part to play. You can take a stand against ageism and join me by signing up today!” says Stephanie.
An Age Concern Dignity Champion pledges to:
• Reject stereotypes and focus on the uniqueness of every individual
• Speak up when they hear people speaking negatively about growing old
• Have the courage to question practices they feel are disrespectful to older people
• Not patronise older people
• Be patient, polite and friendly
• Have zero tolerance for abuse or neglect
• Build relationships – they combat isolation and loneliness by getting to know the older people in their lives.
