FREE HEALTHY HOMES ASSESSMENT
Kiaora
My name is Casey and I am a Healthy Homes Navigator For Saint Vincent De Paul. I am pleased to extend an offer for a free Healthy Homes Assessment for your living space. Our team of experts will thoroughly evaluate your home for compliance with the Healthy Homes Standards, covering key areas such as insulation, heating, ventilation, moisture ingress, and draught stopping. This assessment aims to identify any potential health hazards or non-compliance issues to ensure your home meets the required standards for optimal health and safety. We can help with tips and recommendations on how to make and keep your home warmer this winter and every winter after that. We can assist you with our services that come with the program. You can contact me at casey@vinnieshamilton.co.nz or 022 582 4779 if you would like to enquire or schedule this free assessment at your convenience.

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)
.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
