Neighbourhood watch app and SOS for emergencies
Hi Neighbours.
I recently developed an app that allows you to notify everyone in a 350 meter radius of you that you have an emergency; after pressing the button it then prompts to call emergency services. You may be feeling intimidated, or a fire has broken out and you need lots of hands, or you may have a medical emergency and need urgent assistance. On pressing the button, your GPS location will be shared with your name so people can come to your rescue.
Often neighbours can respond much quicker than emergency services, but your first instinct is to call emergency services first; this can do both.
You can download the app at www.adm.co.nz...
Many thanks

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
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?
