Hi All,

Yesterday afternoon I posted a wanted alert out for two people at an address in Onehunga seen unlawfully on a property.

I have identified the Male and Female pictured in the images and after speaking to them can confirm that they are of no interest to Police and that their behaviour was innocent and are in fact upstanding residents in our community

The number plate that appeared to have been altered was a result of a rust and dirt which along with initial information appeared very suspicious.

I would like to apologise for any unnecessary stress of concern caused to the couple posted and also thank them for bringing this to my attention as soon as possible.

I would also ask for this image to be removed from the Onehunga Neighbourly post as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary bias towards the people posted.

Thank you to members of my Community Watch Network for the support you provide the Police with your nominations.
With your support we have been provided over 300 positive nominations for people posted in these images of whom many were engaged in criminal activity.


If your image does appear in any of my posts and you believe that you may have been identified in error please contact me immediately.

Please remember that all people posted are not guilty of any crime, but are required to be spoken to, to assist with police enquiries.

Kind regards

Don

Join members of the Papatoetoe Historical Society on a walk through the railway heritage precinct.

The arrival of rail to Papatoetoe in 1875 had a huge impact on the lives of residents and surrounding areas. A journey by train brings back many memories. This heritage walk starts at the relocated Old Papatoetoe Railway Station which is now a café. It goes past former railway houses and buildings, crosses the footbridge to the current railway station and back to the beginning.
Afterwards, you can see inside the station building and view railway memorabilia.


Date: Saturday 12 October 2019, 2pm-4pm Old Papatoetoe Railway station 1 St George St, Papatoetoe

Get your voting papers in on ‘Vote Day’ - Saturday 5 October

Daniel Webster from Local Government New Zealand

Local Government New Zealand is urging people to post their voting papers on Vote Day – Saturday 5 October 2019.

Local Government New Zealand is urging people to post their voting papers on Vote Day – Saturday 5 October 2019.

All voting papers must be returned to the relevant council by midday on Saturday 12 October, and voters need to factor in the time it will take the papers to get through the postal system.

New Zealand Post advises that the Standard Post delivery target is up to 3 working days for nationwide delivery, while delivery to and from rural areas may take longer. However, these targets are guides only, and are not guaranteed – delivery may take longer.

Visit www.nzpost.co.nz... to find your nearest post box or office. To get more information on your local candidates, visit policylocal.nz and local council websites for both information and meet the candidate schedules.

“Some of the main reasons people give for not voting are they forgot, ran out of time or were too busy,” says LGNZ Chief Executive Malcolm Alexander.

“So to make sure people give themselves the best chance to have their say we are encouraging people to vote early on what we’ve dubbed Vote Day. Fill out your papers during the week and then to pop them in the paid envelope and into the nearest post box on Saturday 5 October.”

“Voting papers have to arrive at council offices by midday Saturday 12 October, so sending them in on Vote Day gives them plenty of time to get through the postal system.”

Mr Alexander says it is important New Zealanders participate in the selection of the people who will make decisions that affect most people’s lives on a daily basis.

“Local government shapes the place that you live. It’s the pavements you walk on, the roads where you drive, the water you drink, shower in and swim in, your parks, libraries and swimming pools where you take the kids,” Mr Alexander says.

“There’s been a lot of robust public conversation around climate change, the housing crisis, the quality of our water and our transport options, and now is the time to turn that conversation into a vote that influences your local leadership.”

“Voters can still post their papers after 5 October, but there is no harm in doing it earlier,” Mr Alexander says.

Eligible voters who didn’t enrol before 16 August won’t receive their papers in the mail, but can make a special vote by visiting their local council offices, or by contacting their Council Electoral Officer.

What: ‘Vote Day’
When: Saturday 5 October 2019
Why: Make sure you have your say by voting early
How: Visit www.nzpost.co.nz... to find your nearest post box or office. To get more information on your local candidates, visit policylocal.nz and local council websites for both information and meet the candidate schedules.
