Rant Time

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

If you are going for a walk, jog or bike ride around sunset, including heading home from work, by one of those methods, please, please, please, for the love of all things precious, stand in front of a mirror, in the dark!
If you can’t see yourself, neither can anyone else!
Do something about it!… View more
If you are going for a walk, jog or bike ride around sunset, including heading home from work, by one of those methods, please, please, please, for the love of all things precious, stand in front of a mirror, in the dark!
If you can’t see yourself, neither can anyone else!
Do something about it!

I am getting well fed up with all the bloody close calls, because I don’t have night vision eyesight. And being abused for not seeing a shadow in the dark is bloody out of order.

Just because you can ‘see perfectly fine’ doesn’t mean you can be seen. And the same goes for drivers and headlights.

And last but not least, the bike paths between Havers and Hastings are not on the road. They’re shareways, on the other side of the berm. Same for Joll Road. Please use them. They were built specifically for you.

Sam was disengaged and struggling to find meaning in his daily routine of attending school, doing chores, and playing video games. Then, he was invited to join a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme, which introduced him to the outdoors.

After the wilderness adventure, Sam became more confident and self-assured, and his teachers noticed a positive change in his sociability and willingness to ask questions in class.

He developed a "give-it-a-go" attitude. Inspired by his newfound passion for the outdoors, Sam plans to join the New Zealand Defence Force after finishing school.

Poll: Should all homes have curtains?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Even well-insulated homes can lose up to 45% of the room's heat without having adequate curtains. This is why Curtain Banks are in high demand at this time of year.

Even well-insulated homes can lose up to 45% of the room's heat without having adequate curtains. This is why Curtain Banks are in high demand at this time of year.

A petition is circulating to get curtains added as part of the Healthy Homes Standards in the hopes of helping renters avoid living in cold, damp conditions. Do you think curtains should be mandatory for New Zealand homes?
