Kindling Wood

John from Levin

Hi Neighbors and Friends,
On visiting Supermarkets, and Homewhare shops it really gets under my skin the rediculous prices that these community shops are charging for the necessity for families to keep themselves warm during and into the colder part of our year.
On seeing what these supposed community and family providers are charging for bags of firewood and kindling is totally unbelievable
From what I've looked at, how can they substanciate charging $15-00 plus for a bag of 12 wood rings/rolls, or $18-99 for a box of Kindling Wood.
With this regard, I have devoted a lot of time and effort in making available to the Levin residents Kindling Wood options, that as I feel a more friendly and acceptable cost to households.
As you will see from the attached photo's, there is 2 options available.
No.1 on left $10, approx 90+ pieces per box
No.2 on right $12-50 approx 130 + per box
Its not my intention to rip anyone off, but my time in producing this product, is a lot higher than the asking price, however I believe the community deserve better.
If interested call John 021 756020 or email jojabe31@gmail.com

Six tips for improving security around your home

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.

2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.

3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.

4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.

5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.

6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property

Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
