Hi All,

We stay at holdaway avenue and we have noticed that someone did break into our cars and left the doors and the shelf open. Thankfully there was nothing much worth stealing. We noticed it when we were leaving for work in the morning that the doors are slightly open and also the shelf of the car is open. This incident happened on the Monday night. We are installing the cctv cameras as soon as possible but for those who have it kindly check and let us know if there was any suspicious person or vehicle entered holdaway avenue on Monday night. Did anyone else face such issues?

Poll: Would you let the grass in your local parks grow to feed pollinators?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kiwis love our lawns and traditionally we expect our councils to keep the lawns of our public parks and verges tidy and well mowed and to get rid of any weeds. But actually a neat and tidy green lawn is a food desert for pollinators, and leaving grass unmown and letting so-called weeds like clover … View moreKiwis love our lawns and traditionally we expect our councils to keep the lawns of our public parks and verges tidy and well mowed and to get rid of any weeds. But actually a neat and tidy green lawn is a food desert for pollinators, and leaving grass unmown and letting so-called weeds like clover and dandelion flower provides food for bees and helps support biodiversity. Would you be happy if your local authority let the grass in your local parks grow long and allowed weeds to flourish?

Do you know a teacher who's helped a family in need?

Kendall Hutt Reporter from North Shore Times

Hi neighbours. Stuff is writing a story about teachers buying essentials for students in need. There's the stuff you'd expect, like food and pens, but then some have bought clothes for a whole family whose house had burnt down, paid for car repairs and donated furniture etc.

Flight Centre Gift Card

I wonder if anyone is looking to use Flight Centre`s services to book flights, etc. and may be able to buy our $100 Gift Card at face value.

The Gift Card was given to my wife and I by our daughters to use for domestic travel/holiday. Unfortunately, if used at Flight Centre for a domestic flight with Jetstar , there is a commission charge of $30 per ticket, i.e. in our case $60 of the $100 gift card lost. This is in addition to a $9.95 surcharge per ticket on domestic bookings. Apparently Jetstar charges Flight Centre to sell their domestic tickets so the only way to make it worthwhile is for Flight Centre to charge commission when selling their flights. Extremely disappointed and annoyed as I`m writing this.

Price: $100
