Mobility Parks

Max & Lizzie from Kairanga

I am not only wondering about our Town Planner and their use of common sense, but our Parking Team. If any of you have been to City Doctors on Victoria, in a Mobility Van, can you tell me how you are supposed to safely get your passengers out of the van, into oncoming traffic. The park provided is … View moreI am not only wondering about our Town Planner and their use of common sense, but our Parking Team. If any of you have been to City Doctors on Victoria, in a Mobility Van, can you tell me how you are supposed to safely get your passengers out of the van, into oncoming traffic. The park provided is so unsuitable for the purpose it is designed and URGENTLY needs sorting. It has now become a revenue item for Parking enforcement as drivers can either risk their passengers or pull forward onto the footpath to enable them to safely disembark their passengers. This is so irresponsible of Parking Department and of City Doctors for not insisting on safe parking for their patients. Please feel free to email the Council Parking Department on behalf of our disabled community. Stuff perhaps you could help, would be nice if this could be sorted before someone is hit!

Police are warning people to be on alert for the latest round of email scams referencing Police and other justice agencies.

The email claims authorities have done a search of the email recipient’s computer and located explicit illegal material.

The recipient is directed to reply within 72 hours, or a warrant will be issued for their arrest. This email is a scam and anyone who receives it should not reply under any circumstances.

Although some versions of the email do not specifically reference money, other similar scams involve the recipient being issued a ‘fine’ when they respond.

While the nature and specific details of scams often varies, it’s important to note that Police and other government agencies will never contact you out of the blue and ask for your password, credit card or bank details.

Police have received several reports of this scam and enquires are underway.

Anyone who received this email can either forward the spam email to the Department of Internal Affairs directly at complaint@spam.govt.nz or use their online reporting portal: www.reportspam.co.nz...

Police recommend taking a cautious approach to unsolicited emails. Trust your gut instinct - if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.

Information on other scams currently operating can be found on the Consumer Protection NZ website: www.consumerprotection.govt.nz...

Consumer Protection NZ, along with Netsafe, also provides helpful advice about keeping safe online.

Anyone who has received this email can report it to police online via www.police.govt.nz.... Please reference file number 240830/5842.

The meaning of retirement is changing. It’s no longer just about saying goodbye to work - it’s now an opportunity to try something new or keep doing what you love.

It’s no longer just about saying goodbye to work - it’s now an opportunity to try something new or keep doing what you love. Rather than hanging up their hats, many of today’s retirees are redefining this phase by staying active through part-time jobs, volunteering, or even launching new careers.

Living in a retirement village doesn’t necessarily mean you’re done with work either; rather, it offers the opportunity to explore different activities, pursue long-held passions, and discover new interests. In fact, many people find the lifestyle gives them more freedom to stay engaged and active through work they enjoy.
