❗ALERT: FRAUDULENT PHONE CALLS❗

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

We’re aware of fraudulent phone calls being made around New Zealand, from one or multiple people pretending to be SPCA staff and/or veterinarians.

The caller appears to be targeting pet owners who have lost their animals, stating that the animals are being held by them, and that payment in the hundreds of dollars (to be paid over the phone) is required to retrieve them.

These callers are not affiliated with SPCA. If your animal is found by SPCA, we will never request payment in this way.

If you receive a call like this, we urge you not to provide any payment over the phone and report the call to Netsafe.

You can find information about how to do so here.

Please be sure to share this message with your friends and whānau that have pets.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Chrstmas light show

Murray from Henderson

Hi everyone.
I have put my Xmas lights up and am currently doing the final testing.
This is an animated show set to music, so drive by viewing is not the best.
There are speakers out so you will be able to hear the music that goes with the lights.
As last year, I will have my shows running from 1st of December until 31st of Dec inclusive.
As I have neighbours, Please respect them and their properties.

Show times will be,
Sunday to Thursday 9pm to 10pm.
Friday and Saturday 9pm to 10:30pm.

Last but not least the address.
28 Harrington Rd
Henderson.
