COMMUNITY NOTICE - Courier & Freight Services at Level 3

Ngaire from PACK & SEND Palmerston North

The past four weeks have been like nothing New Zealand has seen before! We’ve been in this together, so we would like to say a heart felt thank you to all our customers, with a special thank you to those that have supported us during level 4.

Ironically, we opened our business on the 25th March 2019 and closed it due to COVID-19, exactly a year to the day. Not quite the birthday celebration we planned, but it was the right one to ensure we get through this period in the safest and healthiest possible way. However, this has been at a significantly reduced capacity.

We are passionate about supporting local because we are Proudly Palmy and we are sure that if we support local business we will build a better and stronger community together.

As we move to Level 3 on Tuesday, we would like to reach out to our neighbours to let you know that through PACK & SEND Palmerston North;

• Domestic and International courier and freight needs will resume at competitive prices.

• When using our services we can provide FREE pickups within the Palmerston North city boundaries so you can stay safely in your bubble.

• Provide contactless payment options.

• In service centre packing service will also be available

• We can provide custom made boxes for those Fragile, Large, Awkward and Valuable items.

• NO CHARGE delivery if you are purchasing our quality boxes and packaging material.

• 100% commitment to outstanding customer service

Where to find us:
355 Main Street (Between Moxies and Steve Parson’s House of Travel)
On a side note; Moxies are also setup for meal deliveries and contactless coffee fix services. Check out their Facebook page for information.

Want to drop off your parcels?
No problem, we are all set up to meet the Covid-19 non-contact restrictions to keep you all safe with a convenient loading zone in front of our service centre.

Thank you once again for supporting local businesses.

All the best and keep safe.
Ngaire & Damon O’Donnell

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Harrier Hawk 0823

Paul from Levin

Harrier Hawks seem to have flight routines. It was not uncommon to see one flying southwards over Burn St from the Roslyn Rd area as this one was doing. I often wondered if it was always the same hawk but anyway I've not seen it happen recently.
