Plum City Re-Opened (after a five year break)

Susie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

This week have been delighted to discover that Plum City has re-opened (after a 5 year break).

This is their Facebook page - www.facebook.com...

Very capably run by Bex Coddington, she has a beautiful array of yellow flesh nectarines, white flesh nectarines, black splendour plums, yellow flesh plums, peaches, apricots all $6/kg and - my all time favourite - plumcots (a plum and apricot cross) - think heaven dancing on your tongue - also at $6/kg!

And cherries 🍒 $16 a kg

Located at 9 Longlands Road East, just on the left after the Te Aute Road turn off heading towards Railway Road.

And the bonus is that Bex also has a fab coffee machine so you can get your Bay Espresso coffee fix and a cookie while you stock up on fruit.

There is Eftpos connected so you can just swipe and go!

Open everyday leading up to Christmas day opening at 8am-3.30pm.

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.
