"Meet the Candidates" evening at Aro Valley Community Centre!

The Team from Aro Valley Community Centre

Don't miss out on the iconic Aro Valley Community Council "Meet the Candidates" evening.

The election cycle has gotten VERY interesting and this is an evening you don't want to miss - Get answers from local electorate candidates on the questions that are important to you!

The doors will be open from 7:00pm.

The event is a great chance to meet the Wellington Central candidates. Each candidate will be given some time to speak and then it's from the floor question time.

In true Aro Valley, style water pistols are part of the action for those candidates who can't stick to their time limit. Let's hope the candidates remember their waterproofs!

Representing Wellington Central we have:
- James Shaw - Green Party
- Abe Gray - The Opportunities Party
- Nicola Willis - National Party
- Grant Robertson - NZ Labour Party

NB: More candidates to be added pending confirmation

For more details contact us at the Aro Valley Community Centre at: developer@arovalley.org.nz

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

πŸ›‘οΈ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
