Z Good in the Hood – Johnsonville
It's voting time! 1 Sep - 30 Sep 2019
The Wellington North Community Patrol has been selected for this year’s Z Good in the Hood programme.
We are delighted to be selected as the funds raised to assist with paying for fuel to keep the patrol car on the road. Voting at Z Johnsonville commenced on 1 September and continues until 30 September. Each purchase will result in a token being supplied to the customer who can vote for their selected organisation.
Just purchase a coffee or a muffin and you will receive a token. The Patrol would be grateful for the public’s support to ensure the vehicle can patrol every week.
The Wellington North Community Patrol is in partnership with New Zealand Police and helps prevent crime and reduce harm and victimisation through the active presence of trained patrollers across the Wellington North suburbs. The area covered includes Ohariu, Churton Park, Glenside, Grenada Village, Woodridge, Paparangi, Johnsonville, Newlands, Broadmeadows, and Ngauranga. Both residential and commercial businesses are covered.
Community Patrols can undertake a wide range of roles in order to help keep the community safe. Patrols such as Wellington North Community Patrol can be seen cordoning off accident scenes on highways, guiding vehicles around hazards as well as a range of other exercises as per the instruction of New Zealand Police. These roles are often undertaken at night and during bad weather, putting these people at great potential risk. Patrol members can be called upon to assist in the event of large scale community events, natural disasters, and searches for missing persons.
The Patrol is a not-for-profit body and all members are volunteers.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
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?
-
34% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
66% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
