What is a Neighbourly Lead?
Neighbourly Leads help make Neighbourly a great resource for their local community. They help Neighbourly grow and run smoothly in their suburb.
Leads are an important part of the Neighbourly team, so they have some elevated privileges on the site including reviewing inappropriate and flagged messages and being that important link between the Neighbourly team and your local members.
There will also be other Leads in your community to assist and support you as you go!-----------------------------
Now I'm not sure of other Neighbourhoods other than Manurewa so i wont speak for them but in Manurewa there are many people i would consider far more experienced to hold that title (and no i dont want it at all). Folk that answer their emails, folk that reply constantly and folk that are far more active on Neighbourly.co.nz so why dont The Neighbourly team change things. I have asked Neighbourly this many times and never get a response also have sent emails to the Manurewa Lead that hasn't been active for over a year.

Thinking of this makes one wonder The Neighbourly Team doesn't seem to mind spamming people with Emails of grants that i still don't believe to be real but even after informing them of that i still get em, The Big question here is are Your leads active in your neighbourhood and are they of good value to the community.

I know the Flatbush lead is and he is a kewl dude too,
but are there any others out there that get the impression that Neighbourly just don't care of certain hoods.

There's nothing worse than a soggy sammy. The trick to keeping kids interested in eating their lunch (and stopping yourself getting bored making it) is mixing it up with variations on a theme that you know they already love.

So instead of a plain ham and cheese sandwich on sliced bread, try folding slices of ham and cheese into wedges of crunchy baguette or a soft bap. Save time and stress by using Mainland’s convenient sliced cheese – available in Edam, Tasty, Colby and Swiss to suit your family’s taste.

Head to mainland.co.nz for some quick and easy cheesy ideas.
