Welcomes (to Neighbourly Northwood)
As you might know, I have just recently returned as Northwood Lead. During my last stint as Lead I always made sure I welcomed each and every person who joined us in Northwood. I don't believe there was any Lead welcoming new members during my absence so I have made a point of going back as far as possible to rectify that.
It has lead to some very dismayed replies, (and a couple of irate ones) reminding me that some of the people I am welcoming have been members for 'ages". Sorry about that, I was only trying to make sure you didn't feel missed out.
So, instead of causing more irate replies, I just want to say 'welcome' to all new members who have not been welcomed by me personally. It is great to have you with us. We appreciate your support.
Who would have thought walking could have been so dangerous!
Wow!
In 2022 there were 33 fatal crashes, 245 serious injury crashes, and 590 minor injury crashes where pedestrians were involved.
In these crashes, 34 people walking died, 240 people walking were seriously injured, and 595 people walking suffered minor injuries.
Most injuries occur in the young (5 - 29yrs), then 50+yrs, with the highest number of child pedestrians injured between 2pm and 4pm, followed by 4pm to 6pm and 8am to 10am.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
