Got a Nice Neighbour?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We’re looking for the nicest neighbours in town, and Pam Driver of Burswood has shared her lovely neighbours, David and Lara Hurst, saying they “are just wonderful”.

We’re looking for the nicest neighbours in town, and Pam Driver of Burswood has shared her lovely neighbours, David and Lara Hurst, saying they “are just wonderful”.

This year, Pam had a missing cat, which was quite out of character. Driver let the Hursts know, and they joined the search, successfully locating him in the gap between the ceiling and roof of their neighbour’s house.

Pam said “They rescued him and brought him home to me... complete with some scratches! I hate to think what would have happened had he not been found”.

Pam nominated the Hursts to let them know she is thankful for them: “It’s so good to know I have such caring neighbours who have my back. Thank you neighbours!”

Nominate someone in your hood, and your special neighbour could feature on Stuff and Neighbourly as an inspiration to us all (plus there are prizes to be won!).

Hi All,
*Points to consider: bikes don't cause pollution, they don't pose a risk to pedestrians and don't take up space on the roads, roadsides, block storefronts.
If one drives a car, they are paying for petrol (unless it's electric), causing pollution and taking up a lot of space. It shouldn't be a matter of pride.
I'm excited to see bike lanes around Newtown and I wanted to explore getting back on a bike after many years. I'm doing my due diligence and getting in touch with pedal ready etc. to be ready for the roads. I understand from a bike rental place that insurance companies require bikes to be locked away in a garage.
What are the options for people who don't have a garage and live up a steep flight of steps?
I recommend the city to have some secure sheds around residential areas with access cards or something that can keep our bikes safe from being stolen.
What do you think neighbours? Any suggestions?
Already provided my feedback to WCC.
