*555 for bad driving or boy racer activity

There's plenty of information in the newsletter from Don in ways to keep yourself and your property safe.
It would be great if you could pop Don an email and thank him for his efforts with the newsletter in keeping us informed about our community.
Stay safe Neighbours
Regards
Colleen

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
