To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.
For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.
This month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (21 - 27 September).
However you choose to take part, make sure to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

The number of Auckland homes for sale in August was down 7 percent from the same period last year with just 7399 listings.
This echoed national trends where the housing supply decreased by 13.2 percent to 17,974 listings.
The average asking price nationwide has increased by 9.1 percent to $824,702 over this period.
However Auckland was at odds with this trend, with a slight decrease in asking price by 0.8 percent to $982,155.
Realestate.co.nz spokesperson Vanessa Taylor said the national housing shortage is not getting better and buyers have “less choice than ever”.
“New Zealand's fast-growing population coupled with an increase in the number of Kiwis returning home due to COVID-19 is likely increasing the demand for property,” she said.
"With many Kiwis unable or reluctant to relocate overseas right now, this too is likely putting a strain on the market.“
Are you concerned about the impact Covid-19 will have on the Auckland property market?

Do you sometimes drive a few kms over the speed limit? Road police have scrapped their speed buffer on Kiwi roads in favour of a no tolerance approach.
All motorists edging over the limit at any time of the year can now expect to be pulled over and possibly fined, national road policing manager Acting Superintendent Gini Welch confirmed on Friday.
It brings an end to a long-standing convention that law enforcement would let minor speeding breaches slide.
“We don’t have a threshold,” Welch told Stuff, “we don’t have anything other than the speed limit.
Previously, besides zero tolerance long weekends, it was understood police could exercise discretion up to 10kmh over the speed limit.

The reminder comes on the back of two weekends that have seen large numbers of people out and about at skate parks, exercise stations, pump tracks, playgrounds and sports pitches across the region, all of which remain closed at Alert Level 3.
This week, council staff have replaced closure notices and tape at the playgrounds and skate parks where it has been removed by members of the public. Playgrounds, skate parks, exercise equipment and pump tracks are closed at Alert Level 3 to remove the risk of transmission from common surfaces.

Matthew Priestly a highly qualified and experienced local Arborist will be at the centre from 0930 to 1130 to talk about the various aspects of this important gardening activity (there's a lot more involved than cutting down and pruning trees - although there will be chainsaws in evidence!).
As the event will be held outside in the Gardens maintaining appropriate Covid19 precautions will be easily achieved plus numbers will be restricted to ensure an interactive presentation with the opportunity to ask Matt any questions. Booking is therefore recommended.
