Have you spotted a rook on your property?

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

These large invasive birds are a problem in the Wellington region because they eat and destroy newly germinated seedlings, which sometimes means entire crops need to be re-sown.

Here at Neighbourhood Support we know first hand that communities that stay connected and prepared fare better in emergencies and natural disasters than those without a plan.

For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training and stocking up on essentials to putting together a grab n’ go bag or working with your neighbours to create a neighbourhood resillience plan, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you and your community can get through any situation. Joining or setting up a Neighbourhood Support group is a great way to keep in touch and work together to reach out, look out and help out one another no matter what life may bring.

Don’t forget! This month also coincides with New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, which will be taking place on Thursday, October 28th at 9:30am.

Let us know how you’re getting prepared this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

Our homes can be our greatest investment and protecting our homes against climate change has become more important than ever.

Our changing climate poses risks to our natural and built environments. Swiss Re in a global analysis of insurance risk said to “expect climate risks to raise global property premiums by 33-41% between 2020 and 2040”. The potential increase was deemed a direct consequence of our changing climate.

Our Climate Insights property report provides easily understood information on change to risks for your current or a future property. The report includes robust and actionable information for residential property owners, tenants and investors to enhance their property’s climate resilience.

So it happened on Nelson Street, Petone. I don't know when but given there was no surface rust on the metal, It was Monday or Sunday. This is the third time this has happened on the Street, one time a gentleman left a note.
Anyhow the rest is pertinent

Big thank you to the Piece of S*** who didn't leave their details, after hitting the right-hand rear of my car, ( NOT around 11.30 am, Monday at the Queensgate Carpark.) on Nelson Street, Petone It was the Blue Impreza.
Luckily I'm insured, (but have a $400 excess) I'm guessing that you are not, on top of that, an appalling driver, and are a very dishonest person.

So thank you so much.

I have Security at Queensgate reviewing cameras now) - (Thanks Brendan for suggesting, I didn't think about doing that)
