Hi there!
I am looking to get in touch with the incredible people who were on the scene and helping as emergency services were being rung for a crash on Owens road yesterday.
If you could get in touch it would be much appreciated ❤️

St Joseph's of Cluny Kindergarten guides learners for the last time on Friday out of concern for the growing frailty of the Sisters who manage the institution.
Head teacher of 15 years Julie McClay said the Sisters of St Joseph Trust Board were aging and did not have any younger Sisters coming through to take the reigns.
"They're 80 plus so they can just relax and not have any financial worries down the track, " McClay said.
The Sisters of St Joseph of Cluny, a religious order founded in France, opened the kindergarten in 1954 to better serve their local congregation with early childhood education.
Among the first day pupils were the Bishop of Auckland, Bishop Patrick Dunn.
The initiative was so successful it led to the launch in 1960 of Cluny School, for primary students, which ran until 1981.
McClay describes the Sisters as "the unsung heroes."
They welcomed students with special needs and never turned away families who could not afford to pay their fees, she said.
"Whatever the need was we said, 'yes' and I think that's what we were about."
McClay said that over the years, she often heard primary school teachers remarking they could recognise the kindergarten's former students.
"I think it's (because of) the value system."
The children were given high expectations- and rose to them, she said.
"It was always done in a nurturing, loving environment at the pace of the child."

They have found their cherished puppy Bill which went missing from their Bond St home on Saturday night.
The 16-week-old Pomeranian is now safely back home after an appeal on Facebook and a Neighbourly community news story about Bill's disappearance.
One of the roommates said they were grateful and overwhelmed with all the support during the last 72 hours.
"We want to thank every single person who helped bring him home safe," she said.
"We are now complete."
Bill vanished about 11 pm after three strangers gatecrashed their party, resident Lucinda Barwell said.
Occupants asked the men to leave after they tried unsuccessfully to sell drugs to one of the flatmates, Barwell said.
"Only moments later did we realise that Bill had gone missing too."

My timber floor is looking tired and I want to change it. However the tiler said it's very hard to remove the existing timber as they sit under kitchen cabinets and skirtings. So I'm thinking about putting a nice looking vinyl on top instead. Can anyone recommend a good vinyl installer? Thanks a lot.

With so much going on this time of year it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about others, especially those having a difficult time.
Whether it’s an elderly neighbour who lives alone to a family on your street working hard to make ends meet, reach out to someone who could use a little extra joy in their life and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!
Other ideas include fundraising for a local charity, doing a food or toy drive, organising a ‘Secret Santa’ gift exchange on your street, giving a present to a neighbour who helped to make your 2020 better, or even host a community Christmas lunch.
Let us know how you’re giving back in your community in December by emailing: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

The Maungawhau School learners submerged a time capsule capturing 2020 inside a concrete pipe.
Sealed for 25 years will be a teddy bear to mark the area's highly touted teddy bear hunt during Auckland's lockdown.
Students have also concealed a face mask, a QR code for the school, newsletters, class photos, along with diary entries about 2020 and homeschooling.
The treasures will be dug up and delved into during the school's 100th annual fair.
