Family in need
Hello all,
I have very close friends who have been displaced due to the landslip in Stokes Valley. They are very kind and are the first in line to help anyone in need. I now reach out as they are now in need. They are looking for a 3 bedroom house that allows 2 elderly cats (17 years old) as it seems they may be out of home for approx 3-6 months minimum until EQC, Council, Insurance company come to an agreement on next steps. They are not allowed to enter their house as it has a temporary red sticker placed on it. If anyone can help please reach out. Also there has been a give a little page started to help them get through this:

Thank you

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?
