Franklin, your opinion matters!
In the next two decades, our Franklin district will experience the biggest population growth of anywhere in New Zealand.
To prepare for this dramatic increase in demand, we at Franklin Hospice need to do all we can to listen to feedback, not only from people who have used our services in the past, but also from those who are likely to need our services in the future.
Will you please help us? Your opinion matters!
I am asking you to please help us by taking a few minutes of your time to share your views and take our survey before we begin making vital future decisions, so we can continue to provide our services free of charge to those with life-limiting illnesses so they can focus on what’s important – to "Live Every Moment".

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
