Tara from Epsom

Ellerslie has a new valuable community service with Justices of the Peace regularly available at their new service desk. It’s in the War Memorial Community Centre, right in the heart of Ellerslie shopping centre.

Having started on the 9th June, JPs are available 3 mornings a week: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 10am until noon.

With effect from 1 July, the Panmure Library in Pilkington Road will also have JPs on a service desk on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10am until noon.

Area Coordinator for Justices of the Peace, Jenny Hunt, says sufficient local JPs have volunteered to provide the service and all are accredited members of the Auckland Justices of the Peace Association. “We are available to provide the full range of JP services… no appointment is necessary and we look forward to assisting the local community at our new service desk which joins the network of more than 60 across Auckland”.

The War Memorial Community Centre is at 134 Main Highway: park in the Arthur Street carpark.

The Panmure Library is at 7-13 Pilkington Road, Panmure: parking is available in the carpark adjacent.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
