Ban public sales of Fireworks.



Unfortunately there is too much misuse of fireworks by people that buy them.



The main problem is people stock up , then let them off at inappropriate times during the year.



As well as the amount of fire damage and extra pressure on medical services.



Also there is often a litter problem in public places.



What is the environmental impact from the gases from the burning of the fireworks?



Maybe the Government doesn't want want to ban public sales of fireworks because it gets revenue from the sales in taxes!



Public displays are far better quality and are at a set time.



Why is this important?

It protects our environment!

It stops noise pollution at inappropriate times!

saves extra pressure on fire service and Medical services

🌈 Celebrate Community – Mar. 1st to 31st 💙🎉

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

Knowing your neighbours is one thing, but actually spending time together is to write a much richer story together... an opportunity to have fun, learn more about each other, and recognise that the strings that connect us often run much longer than just the length of our streets.

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 isn't the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it'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 is celebrating it's 10th anniversary from March 22nd to 31st. To help you get started, we love their suggestions for 10 little and 10 big ways to get involved. (link below)

Let us know how you're celebrating this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
