CITIZENS ADVICE COMMUNITY DIRECTORY
Hi everyone!
This is for all of you hardworking members of the myriad community groups we have in Kapiti. A heartfelt THANK YOU for everything you do....
AND a request from our Paraparaumu and Otaki Citizens Advice Bureaux volunteers for you to check your listing on our cab.org.nz database and please let us know if anything is inaccurate and needs amending. CLICK ON THE COMMUNITY DIRECTORY AND SELECT WELLINGTON AND KAPITI.
We get so many people ringing us for help (particularly because people find the local phone directory so difficult to use now) and would like our information on all of your community groups to be as up-to-date as possible.
So please email kapiti@cab.org.nz or otaki@cab.org.nz with any amendments (phone numbers, emails, description of services etc) and we'll get them done as quickly as possible!
Thank you so much 😊😊😊 See less
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
