Recruitment open for our Positive Ageing Advisory Group

The Team from Whangarei District Council

Our Positive Ageing Advisory Group (PAAG) is looking for new members now. But it's not all dancing and games - this year the group have had a big focus on housing and advocated for the extra $4m in funding for pensioner housing that came through in our Long Term Plan. Now there's something to celebrate!
Are you an older person with something to contribute? You can apply to join here: 👴👵

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
