Top Gas Safety Tips for Consumers
1. If you smell anything unusual (sulphur or rotten eggs) – turn the gas appliance off, open doors and windows to ventilate the room, get people out of the area and call a licensed gasfitter, your gas supplier and/or emergency services
2. Know how to turn the gas off in an emergency
3. Don't flick any switches or use your mobile phone near a gas leak (no naked flames or cigarettes either)
4. Don’t interfere with any gas appliance – call an authorised professional
5. Have gas appliances regularly serviced – once a year or as per manufacturer’s instructions – to ensure they are running safely and efficiently. Keep records.
6. If you don't know when an appliance was last serviced, don't risk it, get it checked.

We're starting a podcast
We're starting a podcast: Whangārei Matters. What topics would you like us to explore?
Once or twice a month we'll take a "deep dive" into a local issue and the experts questions from our listeners. What's the story with parking? Storm-water? Road maintenance? We can ask all this and more.
We've recorded a first episode - "Dogs in our District" which will come out in the next few days. Tell us below what you'd like to see next.
NBLY Conversations: What is the etiquette for bin day?

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.
