Wild weather coming - tie down the trampoline!

The Team from WEL Networks

We’re preparing for stormy weather so help us keep you, and the power network safe.

Tie down the trampoline, stay away from downed power lines and don’t try to remove vegetation or objects caught in lines.

WEL has field crews on high alert in preparation for expected heavy rain and high winds which could cause damage to its network so if the wild weather causes power outages residents are asked to be patient.
We’ll be asking crews to work in challenging situations. If their safety is compromised in any way they will make the site safe and return at a later time to complete repairs. We apologise for the inconvenience this might cause for our residents but the safety of staff will be highest priority at all times.

• If you have any concerns regarding the electricity network call WEL Networks on 0800 800 935.
• To stay updated on power outages visit www.wel.co.nz....

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
