As we come up to the festive season, a lot of us want to shop online and look for good bargains 🛍️🛒

Here’s a few tips to help you stay safe, avoid buying stolen property, and not get taken advantage of:
💸If it is too good to be true, it probably is, or it could be stolen property.
💸If it’s being sold as new, ask for the receipt for the warranty. If they can’t provide it, that’s a red flag.
💸Check the seller’s profile, is it new or relatively blank?
💸If you make a purchase and need to meet somebody to get it, choose somewhere well-lit and well populated in public, near CCTV. If it has to be somebody’s home, take someone with you and let someone else know where you’re going and when.
💸Be especially cautious when buying power tools or high-end toy brick building block sets.

Sadly, if you unknowingly buy stolen property, you’re aiding criminals and inadvertently supporting them to steal more.
If you find a suspect listing or social media scam, call 105, or report it with us online at 105.police.govt.nz

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Katrin Eickhorst, recorders, and Michael Stewart, organ and harpsichord, present solo and chamber music works from the Renaissance and the Baroque, including works by Fontana, van Eyck (Staeps), Frescobaldi and Telemann.
The highlight of the programme is Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach’s Sonata in g minor for flute or violine and obligato harpsichord. One of the gems of 18th century literature, it was attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach as his BWV 1020. But recent research suggests it to be a work of Johann Sebastian’s son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach.

Hi neighbour's
We have a fairly large property which has a lot of new planting done on it. We are keen to find someone knowledgeable and reasonable who is available to undertake regular maintenance which I suspect (as a total non gardener) is mostly weed control. We have had a landscape professional who has left us a little bit disappointed so keen to find someone who is prepared to take a look and give us a maintainance plan with a monthly budget.

Thanks Paddy
