Need a good Plumber? We found a GREAT one!

Neighbourly members often post requests looking for good tradespeople.

I have just posted this review on the "No Cowboys" website for a company called Lawson Plumbing in West Auckland, and thought I would share it with my neighbours as well.

"My family have been clients of Lawson Plumbing for many years, after moving into the West Auckland area in 2009.

Mark has been our "go-to" plumber for leaks, pipes, drainage, and a recent hot water cylinder (he was on site less than 60 minutes after the cylinder was discovered to be leaking).

There comes a time when you have such trust in a tradesman, that you don't even bother "getting three quotes" because the peace of mind that this trust brings outweighs the potential for a few extra dollars on a bill (& Marks charges are always very reasonable anyway).

Such is our faith in Mark Lawson Plumbing - we would highly recommend Mark to anyone considering hiring a Plumber".

Learn how to brew your own kombucha using traditional fermentation techniques.

Kombucha is a delicious naturally-fermented probiotic health drink. It promotes gut health and makes a great alternative to soft drinks and juices. Made at home there are no nasties - no extra sugar, additives or synthetic flavours - and you can make it for a fraction of the price it costs to buy (which is great if you already have a healthy kombucha addiction!).

You'll be impressed by how good homemade Kombucha tastes. It's easy to make at home and you choose your own delicious flavours.

Everything is provided, including an extra large jar and scoby so you can take home your first batch of 'booch'.

In 2019 so far, 172 people have been killed on New Zealand's roads, six more than at the same time last year.

Ministry of Transport data for 2016, the most recent available on its website, makes for sobering reading – 328 deaths from 286 fatal road crashes, or 0.9 deaths for every 10,000 vehicles.
