Newlands Resilience
Did you know there's a group of volunteers in Newlands working to help our suburb to be a resilient, connected community that's a great place to live. One of our ideas is to encourage and support those who want to champion connections in their neighborhood and connect with other like-minded people. Better together!
The Newlands Resilience Group is keen to get your feedback about what we've been doing. Come along to a workshop at the Newlands Community Center from 1-3pm on Sunday 28 June , COVID19 permitting, and give us your ideas to help our suburb - we'd love to pick your brains!
You can also join in any one (or more) of our zoom meetings online every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during June and July from 12.30pm (for 30 minutes) - just email rodneybarbernz@gmail.com and he will send you a link to the zoom meetings.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

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?
