Poll: Is our government making the right decisions?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We've seen the devastation of flood waters, yet the Government backed down on plans to protect wetlands (which help soak up heavy rain) after they received complaints by property developers.
Are you confident we're making the right decisions to protect us from future disasters? Let's discuss!

Share your thoughts in the comments below - add NFP if you don't want these shared in the We Say You Say column of your local paper.

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.
