Pūriri/Hinau Street neighbours are amazing!

Tanja from Riccarton

I would just like to give a shout out to the wonderful neighbours around Pūriri and Hinau Streets. I knocked on the doors in the block adjacent to my home tonight in another attempt to find my cat Darcy.
Not only had neighbours already looked for him and kept my flyer from 2 weeks ago, but they even already knew his name when I introduced myself! I have also received messages over the past couple of weeks from various neighbours with sightings of cats who might be him (including, I must say, from lovely people in adjacent suburbs).

I am very moved by everyone's kindness - in spite of my intrusion on a dark and wet Monday night - and while I have not yet found Darcy, I take comfort in the thought that there are many caring people keeping an eye out for him.
You all rock! Thank you!

Here is my listing for Darcy on the Lost Pet Register, should anyone still spot him: www.lostpet.co.nz...

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
