Got space for a couple of pet roosters? 🐓🐓

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

Sadly when people don’t have any need for roosters they do sometimes just dump them. We’ve had a call about a couple of roosters or chickens who have made their home at the roundabout at Riverstone Terraces.

They’ve been there for a while and have a pretty good set up as some in the community are looking after them. However we can’t really leave them there and do need to do something with them due to health and safety concerns. They look in pretty good shape but we do know the community is split about them being there.

Obviously we want to rehome them first, rather than have to humanly kill them, so if anyone could adopt them please do private message us urgently. Rather than just dumping these animals we hope that in the future people do try to rehome them themselves over social media or through animal groups in the first instance.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
