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.
🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
