Cleaning up Welcome Bay Road!

Sarah from Welcome Bay

Hey wonderful people, just checking in with those who want to help me clean up Welcome Bay Road tomorrow (Tuesday) and Wednesday!
Sorry, I know this is late notice :(

The area we have covered so far in the photo are highlighted with blue lines. I am sadden to see rubbish already starting to fill that section of the road.

Thanks to Cecily's hard work today ringing around and organising how we are now collecting this rubbish and how we are getting it to the transfer station (without paying a cent!)

I've received bags from Keep Tauranga Beautiful and will need to know how many people will be helping clean to arrange reusable gloves, hi-vis jackets and buckets for future cleans.

Tomorrow I will be at Kaiwha Road heading towards Waitao Road from 12pm. If anyone wants to arrive earlier I am more than happy to come down, please let me know :D

For those coming please bring gloves (reusable if possible) and/or tongs and water. Please wear supportive, closed in footwear, hi-vis jacket or bright clothing and hat/sunglasses.

Many thanks everyone, hope to see some more faces :D

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

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?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
