Nau mai, haere mai – join us for our libraries FREE whānau-friendly event and learn about celebrating Puanga this winter with Matua Clayton Cook.

✨ Thursday 27 June, 6–7.30pm, Ōtaki Scout Hall

Come along to hear Clayton kōrero about the stars, followed by fun Matariki crafts and a free sausage sizzle. No registration needed.

Like Matariki, Puanga is a time to reflect on the past and plan for and celebrate the year ahead. It's an opportunity for iwi and the community to honour their mountain, remember loved ones and look forward to the new year 💙

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
