Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.

The company behind Hamilton airport has had a $14.9m drop in annual pre-tax profits.
A not unexpected fall in land sales in 2023-24 is a key driver for the change but the boss says traveller “belt-tightening” and overall economic conditions also had an impact.

On Monday night Jason Garrett and his neighbours sat on a hill out the back of his house having a beer and watching the massive Meremere fire rip through neighbouring wetlands.
It was all they could do.

Here’s a few tips to help you stay safe, avoid buying stolen property, and not get taken advantage of:
💸If it is too good to be true, it probably is, or it could be stolen property.
💸If it’s being sold as new, ask for the receipt for the warranty. If they can’t provide it, that’s a red flag.
💸Check the seller’s profile, is it new or relatively blank?
💸If you make a purchase and need to meet somebody to get it, choose somewhere well-lit and well populated in public, near CCTV. If it has to be somebody’s home, take someone with you and let someone else know where you’re going and when.
💸Be especially cautious when buying power tools or high-end toy brick building block sets.
Sadly, if you unknowingly buy stolen property, you’re aiding criminals and inadvertently supporting them to steal more.
If you find a suspect listing or social media scam, call 105, or report it with us online at 105.police.govt.nz

This 6-week course examines the religio-cultural matrix which produced Judaism, Jesus and the earliest Jesus movement. This period brought about the death of ‘Ancient Israel’ and the birth of ‘Judaism’. We'll explore the intersection of Greek philosophy and Semetic theology. This historical period was an era of rapid religious change and uncertainty, massive cultural clashes and unending political turmoil. As a result, it was also an era of great religious creativity and diversity. This included the creation of a new religious movement in Judaea which would eventually spread throughout the Greco-Roman world.
Our courses are offered as in-person classes, live-streamed via Zoom, or via video recordings which are made available 1-2 days after each class session.

The Cambridge Community Charitable Trust has got together with Momentum Waikato, the region’s community foundation, to establish the Cambridge Community Fund, an endowment that will generate investment income for charitable activities and projects in the Waipa centre.
The Fund was officially launched with a well-attended function at Te Awa Retirement Village on the outskirts of Cambridge on Wednesday 16 October 2024.
Inaugural Fund Champions David Cooney and Kevin Burgess say it’s the ideal scenario – a Cambridge-focused charitable fund enabled by a region-wide philanthropic investment entity.
“The Cambridge Community Fund is a cost-effective way for local people to leave a legacy forever to their town,” says Kevin, who is well known locally as a pharmacist, trustee on various boards and athletics supporter.
“Money donated will benefit Cambridge forever, with the partnership with Momentum providing credibility, collegial knowledge, and back office and governance support.
