Neighbours Day - NZ's biggest celebration of neighbourliness
Neighbours' Day (20-30 March 2021) is all about building new connections and holding fun, local get-togethers to meet people that live in your community.
The most popular way is an 'Over the Fence Cuppa' to get to know your neighbours a little better. Knowing the people near you strengthens our community ties, and creates safer and more resilient communities.
If you'd like to run a 'Over the Fence Cuppa' or local event and receive a goodie bag from Council to help, please email Neighbours.Day@kapiticoast.govt.nz by 17 March.
Hosts can go in to a draw to win a 105L water tank and a Grab & Go bag donated by Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (WREMO). With COVID-19 still a potential risk, in-person events will only go ahead under Alert Levels 1 and 2.

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
