Halloween ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป

Lucy from Wilton

Hey neighbourhood fam! Halloween is coming up and was wondering if our suburbs would be keen to band together to create a neat trick or treat atmosphere for the young ones? Was thinking of getting participating houses to tie a balloon or something to their letterbox to signal they're up for treatin', and setting up an FB event to spread awareness. It's been a rollercoaster year or two for the young ones and I thought it might be nice to create a bit of magic for them. ๐Ÿฅฐ Thoughts?

Storm cleanup

Stephen from Marsden Home & Garden

Hope everyoneโ€™s doing okay after the storm.

Iโ€™ve got some availability next week if anyone needs help with priority cleanup. Iโ€™ve got a pole pruner and chainsaw. Just noting Iโ€™m not an arborist.

Call 021308938 or message me.

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

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, thereโ€™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 ๐Ÿช™๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿช™

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

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