Celebrate Community - March 1st to 31st ๐ŸŽ‚

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isnโ€™t the houses and cars, gardens and streets - itโ€™s the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.

A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 20 - 30th March. This yearโ€™s theme is โ€˜The Great Plant Swapโ€™ - as an easy way for our neighbourhoods to grow stronger together. If youโ€™re hosting an event, make sure to register it on their website: neighboursday.org.nz/join-in

Show us how youโ€™re celebrating community this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

What do you think about arts courses potentially being cut?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

After acing her audition, 17-year-old vocalist Martha Newland was looking forward to the start of her musical career studying at Wintec in 2025.

Then she got a call to say the course didn't exist any more - and sheโ€™s not the only one.

Wintec has informed students and members of staff that several degrees are not taking new enrolments for 2025.What do you think about arts courses potentially being cut? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

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.
