WOF

Eugene from West Harbour

Hi Folks, can anyone tell me if WOF's & re-tests for your car are an essential service or not? And if not then will the WOF dates that have run out during this lock down period be honoured? so that one does not have to pay again for a WOF test? Just need some clarity on this cheers and … View moreHi Folks, can anyone tell me if WOF's & re-tests for your car are an essential service or not?

Replacing the private long-distance bus terminal would cost ratepayers

Todd Niall Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Hi Neighbours, If the long-distance bus terminal moves out of Sky City's complex, ratepayers will probably foot the bill. Ngāti Whātua opposes AT's plan to put it on their land. See below what it would look like, but should it stay where it is ?

AUCKLAND TRANSPORT CHEATS

Linda from Henderson

There is an increasingly large group of aimless youths who are hopping on the 14W and 14T bus service from New Lynn to Westgate.
The bus driver is often alone on the bus, and when asked to swipe their AT Hop card, the excuse is " I ain't got no money cuz" They refuse to disembark.

There is an increasingly large group of aimless youths who are hopping on the 14W and 14T bus service from New Lynn to Westgate.
The bus driver is often alone on the bus, and when asked to swipe their AT Hop card, the excuse is " I ain't got no money cuz" They refuse to disembark.
My concern is for the driver, as if he insists on payment he could very easily be overcome and end up in a nasty situation.
I have emailed Auckland Transport over this matter. A possible solution would be to cancel every second one of the almost empty buses and put the unneeded driver on as security for the in-service bus.

We are so happy to be welcoming an incredible new partner to Neighbourly - joining our long-term friends AMI, Resene and Ryman Healthcare.

Pet Direct are the new kids on the pet block and know the industry inside-out; they have over 350 dog years of animal experience within their team. Most importantly right now, they're still delivering all your essential items during the Covid-19 lockdown.

The Pet Direct team do things differently; firstly they ALL have pets of their own. They also personally hand-pick every product they stock; they have over 5,000 items that have been tried and tested (but mostly eaten). They ship daily, from their Auckland-based warehouse, straight to your doorstep (with free delivery over $29), and offer a best price guarantee.

Neighbours - our pets remain a constant source of love and comfort during unsettling times. So show them (and the team at Pet Direct) how special they are. To say thanks for the support (and for being a good neighbour during this tough time), they're offering you 10% off their already awesome prices. Just use the code NEIGHBOURLY10 at checkout.

Our sweet pea seeds send out, April issue and Get Growing

Dear neighbours and NZ Gardener family,

Our April issue should be with our subscribers now and available in supermarkets and service stations (having been distributed prior to the lockdown restrictions). Whether or not it's on the stands yet is a bit patchy ... but then the incredibly brave and hard-working supermarket staff have quite a bit on their plate right now so I understand if there is a delay! Please, please, please everyone ... don't go out to buy it! Normally of course we love you buying NZ Gardener but right now it's far more important that you stay home and stay safe. (You can buy a copy with your online shopping though! That's safe and I think we are all in the market for something uplifting to read right now).

In this issue we offered to send out sweet pea seeds to any reader who sent us a SSAE. Just to reassure you, we will still send out sweet pea seeds to any reader who is keen to participate. We are just not quite sure when! Ignore the dates in the magazine of when you needed to send the envelope in by - that has been indefinitely extended. But we cannot wait to send you the seed and for those flowers to bloom as by then we will be well through this or even have it behind us. And keep letting us know what you are sowing and growing, send in pictures of your harvest, your flowers or what you are sharing.

We always love hearing from NZ Gardener readers but now when we are all staying apart that connection means more than you can imagine. Stay home, stay safe and stay in touch everyone. For the most updated gardening advice, subscribe to our digital e-zine Get Growing, which will be delivered to your inbox completely free.

HOW TO DO EXTREMELY WELL DURING LOCKDOWN WITH NO EFFORT

Linda from Henderson

I am aware of a person ripping off Winz by giving a false address, which of course would be backed up by a mate should Winz enquire.

I am aware of a person ripping off Winz by giving a false address, which of course would be backed up by a mate should Winz enquire.
Receiving two food parcels a week, sharing a lovely place, and of course plenty of spare money for 'extras'.
While some people are doing it very hard with losing their jobs, this person obviously has no conscience whatsoever. Very, very proud of his ability over many years to use/abuse the system to its fullest extent.
Do not ask me to support food parcels while this is going on. Time for Winz to tighten up.
