Neighbourly from Neighbourly.co.nz

Police are appealing for information after an aggravated robbery in Timaru last week. Around 5pm on Thursday 11 April Timaru Police were called to an address on Kiwi Drive after the occupant was assaulted and robbed.

A 60-year-old man received cuts and bruising. He was treated in hospital and has since been discharged. The offenders are believed to be two females and a male.

Police are seeking information in relation to any suspicious behaviour on 11 April between 1 and 5pm on Kiwi Drive, in particular in close proximity to Westend Park. We also ask that anyone that may have CCTV footage in the area at that time to contact Police.

Information can be passed on to Sergeant Kevin McErlain on 021 191 2286. Information can also be supplied anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Gerda Takes On Te Reo Maori!

Kevin Hickman Retirement Village

This year Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, Māori Language Week, is being held from September 16 to 23. It’s an important week encouraging all of Aotearoa to use te reo Māori in everyday life. Similarly, Mahuru Māori promotes speaking and celebrating te reo throughout the month of September.

Over the last couple of years, Gerda, a resident at Diana Isaac Village in Christchurch, has grown her Māori vocabulary by attending the virtual monthly te reo Māori classes offered to Ryman residents. This group learning environment is run by Anita Gill from Te Puna Reo Māori, a Māori online learning provider.

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! 😱
