New to Neighbourly..

Kirsty from Havelock North

Hi all!

I'm new to neighbourly but moved to Havelock North back in September 2015 - we love it here, we've moved around a wee bit, but now feel at home here :)

Wills (hubby) and I have two children - Lachy (5) and Selene (3). We also have a beautiful 7yr husky - and a lot of birds! I run an online pet supplies store from home and Wills works in a Napier car yard.

We are originally both from Palmerston North so the weather here is definitely one of our fave things!! Look forward to getting to know you all.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Cleaning a heat pump

Barbara from Raureka

Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
