noise control tonight

Joanne from Pakuranga Heights

dear neighbours please be aware that our beloved
council has deemed it all right again this year to not
take party noise complaints from 6pm till 2am
I have contacted one of local councillors who did not about this until reading it in the Herald as well today
we like dozens of other residents had an issue last year
with party noise that never stopped till 7am, after 2 officers came after 3am and 4am and found the noise
not excessive although we are 5 houses down and on the
other side of the street.an officer finally shut them down
at 7am resulting in some members of my family being
unable to go to work the next day after being awake all night
If you also find this ludicrous please email your local
councillor
I rung council on Friday to enquire if it was in this year
I was told no, now see it in the herald
along with their new rule about noise requiring you to
call back in half an hour if it is before 8pm is absolutely
stupid and allowing a minority to do what they want at the
expense of those who have respect I feel sorry for anyone
with small children
while I undersand it is only NYE  if like last years can take
over an hour to get through at 2am then another hour
at least to send someone who is most likely deaf
we rung last year at 2mins to 2am was informed it was not yet 2am and were cut off ,took another hour to contact again


please be aware of this amnesty


our council should be promoting community events not encouraging anti social behaviour
as we are living closer to each other this is a growing issue, to which council don't want to
do anything

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
