Village without Walls @ Howick

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

East Health Trust and HBH Senior Living have been exploring the concept of a 'Village without Walls" in Howick.
This initiative is designed to support members of our third age community to help overcome loneliness and social isolation.
Recently a survey was carried out to investigate how well this concept would be received and now they'd like to share the result with the community.
You're invited to hear the results of this survey and meet a member of the 'Sydney Virtual Village' and to discuss the Howick enterprise in more detail.
WHEN: Friday, 11 May 2018
TIME: 10:30am
WHERE: Fencible Lounge, Howick Library, 25 Uxbridge Road, Howick, Auckland
RSVP: by Tuesday, 8 May 2018
CONTACT: 09 538 0827 or email Lee.Warmington@hbh.org.nz

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
