It's te wiki o te reo Māori, and to celebrate this awesome initiative, we've given our logo a little update.

'Haporitanga' means 'the many principles and actions of being a community' and we think it's a great way to express what Neighbourly is.

Are you keen to dive straight into te wiki? Here's a video by our mates at Stuff showing five te reo words that every person from across the motu (country) needs to know.

Poll: Will crate 'liners' stop Marlborough's recycling from being blown down the street?

Chloe Ranford Reporter from Marlborough Express

The Marlborough District Council is looking at running a trial to see if bin bags will stop rubbish from flying out of kerbside recycling crates. The bags are see-through and can be recycled with the rest of a household's recycling. What do you think of the idea?

Pet killed

Sad sad news. Our beloved cat Lulu was run down late Thursday night, right outside our driveway. She was left lying on the road. A neighbour spotted her when leaving for work at 6:00am and moved her to the grass berm. What a devastating discovery for my poor wife.

Sad sad news. Our beloved cat Lulu was run down late Thursday night, right outside our driveway. She was left lying on the road. A neighbour spotted her when leaving for work at 6:00am and moved her to the grass berm. What a devastating discovery for my poor wife.
She had settled into her new home, [we shifted here almost exactly 12 months ago], thrived in this rural/urban neighborhood and inveigled her way into many hearts.
Now she is dead. I feel quite gutted--and very angry that whoever ran her down didn't have the guts to stop, render aid -- or at least move her off the road. She wore a distinctive pink tag with name and phone number affixed. If the perpetrator reads this, perhaps they might phone me to confirm it was a genuine accident. But I cann't help observe that our street in Omaka Landing is devoid of parked cars after 7:00pm, there are no shrubs/trees on the berms and it is extremely well lit. It's hard to understand she wasn't seen crossing the road on her way home.
Only those who have lost a pet, a virtual child/family member, will understand our anguish --and anger. RIP little Lulu.
