Pyjama Drive for Winter
Last year the Franklin community pulled together to donate dozens of pairs of pyjamas to kids identified by their schools as being in need.
CAN WE MANAGE IT AGAIN THIS YEAR?
Working with Middlemore Foundation our goal is to get a new pair of pyjamas to each child before the cold weather arrives and colds and other winter ills increase. This project has a few local community trusts working together for the good of our children. Pyjamas can be left at the Pukekohe Anglican Church, 37 Queen St, or TopNotch Engraving at 28 King St, Pukekohe. We hope to add more drop-off points over the next week. We can provide a dedicated bank account number for this project if you'd prefer to make a donation instead of buying the pyjamas yourself. For more details contact Jan on 0274-521-366
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
