Firewood

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

I know it’s only spring, weird though the weather may be lately, but have you thought about next year? Probably not.

So, let me tell you a secret. Now is the time to order your firewood delivery.

I’ve just been down to Tumu to pick up a boot load, just in case. They have so much wood at the moment that if you ordered it now you’d get it delivered well in advance of needing it, and long before demand forces the price up.

$140 for a cord delivered or 2 cord for $260. And if you get it now, you will know it will be dry for winter.

You can also buy by the boot/trailer/horse float/ute if you have a tow bar, or by the truck load.

So, give it a thought and give them a call, now, to save ending up like so many this past winter, myself included.

To call Tumu 06 873 0990
or email bins&pallets@tumu.co.nz (copy and paste the link. Hyperlink isn’t working)
or, if you are old school, fax them on 06 873 0992

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)
.
