How high are your power bills this winter?

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?

Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?

We're looking into ways we can all keep these costs down for a story on Homed and would love to hear from you if you have particularly large or small bills.

Do your power bills come in way higher than your friends and family? Do you know why, or does the amount always take you by surprise? Maybe, like the family who created an effective solar panel heater out of drink cans, or the blogger who enjoys free power generated by a converted washing machine, you've found a creative way to minimise your bills. If so, how do you do it?

Whether your bills are high and you're looking for ways to reduce them, or you have some secrets to low power bills that you're willing to share, we'd love to hear from you. Email homed@stuff.co.nz and one of our reporters will be in touch.

We were loaned the boat through the club and the condition is we pass it on to another family who have a child wanting to learn to sail. However it is not owned by the club. It was donated to the community and is a boat to be passed on when your child has outgrown it. It is an old fibreglass boat with lots of character and is the perfect boat to learn to sail in or see if your child likes it before investing in one. We need it collected by the 31st August from Devonport. Will post a photo when I get a chance. Or message me to have a look at it.

All Auckland parks could require dogs on-leash by default

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The council is proposing a region-wide default rule of dogs needing to be on-leash in all parks.

Under the proposed bylaw, local boards would need to specifically designate a park as off-leash or it would fall under the council's blanket rule.
