Mobility Parks

Max & Lizzie from Kairanga

I am not only wondering about our Town Planner and their use of common sense, but our Parking Team. If any of you have been to City Doctors on Victoria, in a Mobility Van, can you tell me how you are supposed to safely get your passengers out of the van, into oncoming traffic. The park provided is so unsuitable for the purpose it is designed and URGENTLY needs sorting. It has now become a revenue item for Parking enforcement as drivers can either risk their passengers or pull forward onto the footpath to enable them to safely disembark their passengers. This is so irresponsible of Parking Department and of City Doctors for not insisting on safe parking for their patients. Please feel free to email the Council Parking Department on behalf of our disabled community. Stuff perhaps you could help, would be nice if this could be sorted before someone is hit!

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! 😱

What flowers are blooming in your garden?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours,

In our September mag, Amy Roberts from Villaleigh Plants has a list of her favourite blooms for long display. "If you want a long season, look beyond the flowers," is her advice. Here are her picks: Geranium phaeum 'Mourning Widow', Salvia leucantha, Hylotelephium 'Autumn Joy' (pictured), Eryngium pandanifolium and Alchemilla mollis.

Have you got them in your garden? In fact, we'd love to see what you've got in bloom now. Post a photo and share the joy!
