Te Puna Quarry Park - Sunday 15 March 2020 - Sustainability Day

Elly from Te Puna

On 15 March, the Quarry Park will give some extra attention to sustainability / natural features such as butterflies, bees, herb gardening, predator control. There will be sustainable items for sale such as preserves, honey, lotions & potions, re-usable bags, some plants. We’ll do kids craft, rock painting and rock finding. There will be a cart on site with coffee (in sustainable cups), some food & icecream. Why not combine a stroll or climb through quarry park with a visit to the stalls? Fun for young & old.

Quarry’s Sustainability Day runs this Sunday, 15 March from 10am to 4pm, but Quarry Park is open from dusk to dawn. This day is part of ‘Sustainable Backyards’, which is a collection of 230 events organized by EnviroHub throughout BOP.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
