We're keen on feedback on two projects in Porirua - the upgraded skatepark and the mural on the side of the building where the i-Site used to be. Artwork for the skatepark cost $17,000 and $28,000 for prep and maintenance. No figures yet on the mural. Happy with the end results?

Hi, I am looking at upskilling from 'handsewing' to using a sewing machine and was hoping to find a second hand one. I have tried Trademe but nothing tickles my thumb. Thanks for the time.
This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

It's completely FREE to sell something on Neighbourly - plus you'll have a chance to meet one of your friendly neighbours. Here's a few tips and tricks to make your sale is a quick and easy one:
* Use good images to ensure your items really stand out
* Share an description of each item you are selling including details of its condition
* Add a price for your listing
* If you have multiple items to sell, group these into a single post and itemise the unique items you have for sale with their sale price.
* Once an item has sold, remember to mark it as SOLD (just click on the three little dots under your post)
* Consider listing an unsold item in the Free Stuff category if you're keen to see it moved along.
* Once a neighbourly has confirmed they'd like to purchase your item, share details using your Neighbourly Inbox
