Julie Kaio Reporter from Franklin County News

Hi there Neighbours,
This week hundreds of Franklin school children head to back to class for term 2 after two week’s rest and relaxation for the Easter school holidays.
Gosh, they went quick, perhaps that’s because the Easter stats and Anzac Day fell conveniently in between.
Working parents will be letting out a sigh of relief as their broods march back to school - speaking from experience, child care for two weeks straight can be a bit of struggle to organise.
Thank goodness in Franklin we are spoilt for choice with school holiday options aplenty for all ages.
And as the kids head back to school, there’ll be more traffic on our roads and children crossing paths to get to school.
Take extra care on the roads this week around schools, remember the littlies can dart out of nowhere into the path of traffic.
Julie :)

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

“You Do You” Bevan Mical

Bevan from Ngatea

“You Do You” is the New Single from Bevan Mical.

It really is simple, hence the line drawn cover art. It's a wrap up of 2024 & a big goodbye to the type of people (mostly men) who make this life harder for all of us.

“You Do You” will be streaming everywhere from 29th November
