All you need is a wooden crate, sandpaper, your favourite Resene testpots… View more

2020 Midweek non-delivery!

Susan from Frankleigh Park

So once again no Midweek in Govett Avenue, so please can everyone go to the website www.fixmydelivery.co.nz... and report this, then maybe we will get papers in 2020. If there isn't anyone to deliver in the area then how about they leave a pile of papers at the 24 Hr Laundromat on Govett Ave … View moreSo once again no Midweek in Govett Avenue, so please can everyone go to the website www.fixmydelivery.co.nz... and report this, then maybe we will get papers in 2020. If there isn't anyone to deliver in the area then how about they leave a pile of papers at the 24 Hr Laundromat on Govett Ave and we can pick one up. Really annoying that we are not getting the paper!
Also people and businesses pay to advertise in the paper on the basis that it goes out to everyone, so basically they are paying for something that they don’t get - not very fair to them or to the people who want to read the ‘weekly’ paper.
