Safe jumpstart

Pablo Delgado from Beach Haven and Birkdale Community Watch

We kiwis love to lend a helping hand, to be that one good "bugger"; but it's better to be cautious.

To check rego plates using carjam.co.nz and NZ Police websites is a part of our protocol for any car found incorrectly parked, on a weird spot, potentially abandoned, damaged or with people inside and lights off. It's not a "stolen vehicle" procedure but more a "vehicle worthing attention" thing, anyway we advise you to use the same protocol specially if you're going to help an unknown person, on a lonely street, late night and with no lights to see as it was the case last night.

We decided to use these photos, with consent of the person on them, to show another service we give during our patrols: we try to help members of our Community. We want to build stronger ties among our neighbours and encourage solidarity with our example.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
