Show us what you've got, e hoa!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We're not saying 'Ka kite' to 'Kia ora' but let's challenge ourselves a little more for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori...

Held from the 11th-17th September, Māori Language week gives us a chance to celebrate our beautiful national language. Maybe you'll be celebrating by watching the Toku Reo videos and using Te Aka (Maōri Dictionary) to improve your knowledge, or maybe you've found a buddy for the week that will only kōrero in te reo with you. Ka pai!

If you're a fan of chocolate, we have five blocks of Whittakers Miraka Kirīmi tiakarete to give away. Whether long or short, simply share your show-off phrase below to be in to win. (Winners randomly drawn and notified on Mon, 18th Sept).

Poll: Is the increase in disability parking fines fair?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In October, the fine for parking in a designated mobility car park without a permit has jumped from $150 to $750—a 400% increase!

The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.

Heirloom Tomatoes, Zucchini and Cucumber Plants at Waikanae and Otaki Markets

Val from Otaki District

Rain, wind and cold - just what these veggies don't like! However, better times are on the way and you can get a head start if you have a warm sheltered spot to nurture these seedings. They are coming along well in spite of the conditions.
We'll be at Waikanae tomorrow morning OR come see us at the massive Market and Camping Expo at Otaki on Sunday from 10.00am to 4.00pm. There will be a lot going on, plenty of entertainment and foodtrucks for sustenance, plus the usual array of quality stalls.
So came and check us out. Even if you are not ready to plant just yet, we can offer advice on varieties and cultivation. If you would like the full ;list of tomato varieties available, please PM me.
