The Big Cleanup has begun

The Team from Whangarei District Council

There are still thousands of people in a tough situation, so most of our resources are directed to helping those parts of our District. But for those who are able to go about things as normal, we're starting to plan the next phase.

The Big Clean Up

Some quick info:
📢 Please continue to report issues to us on 09 430 4200, and report non-urgent issues online.
🌳 Please hold on to your green waste and secure it properly until we provide further information.
♻ Put your rubbish and recycling out on your normal collection weekday.

The link above includes information about insurance, Government support, and personal safety. It will be kept up to date as things change.

The Civil Defence priority in our Region is to restore power, water and roadways. There might be a delay before we can get on to cleaning up the mess in parks and on road-edges.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

MAKING A WILL

Jill Smith from Citizens Advice Bureau Far North (CAB)

LET'S TALK ABOUT MAKING A WILL. Check out these links on who can make a will & what a will should contain - www.cab.org.nz...

If you haven't made a will, we strongly urge you to do so. When a loved one is dealing with grief, and then discovers their partner or family member hasn't made a will, it just adds to an already stressful time. Please check this link out for more information - www.cab.org.nz...

While we at CAB cannot draw up your will, we can help you think about how to go about it.

Give us a call on 09 407 9829 or 0800 367 222. Email us on farnorth@cab.org.nz. Visit us at 6 Cobham Rd., Procter Library Building, Kerikeri.
