BENEFIT ADVOCACY KAPITI -
Hi everyone
If you are struggling with your benefit entitlements and need help and support, or you are struggling and wondering what extra help might be out there, we have volunteers at the Cameo Rooms, 5 Mahara Place, Waikanae, every Monday from 1030am till 1230am waiting to talk to you -
Feel free to ring 022 387 4094, email benefitadvocacykapiti@gmail.com or just pop in for a cuppa on Mondays 😊😊😊
It would be wonderful if you could pass our details on, particularly to people who don't have access to the internet - their lives made even harder by government departments all having (sometimes impenetrable) websites, and the confusing world of RealMe, MyMSD, MyIR....
(There is also someone at Cameo on Monday mornings to help you with phone and computer problems, don't forget!)
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

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?
