The Pink Caravan is coming to Porirua area - 1 November / 3 Nov / 10 Nov / 12 Nov
Each year our breast health nurses travel around New Zealand in our iconic Pink Caravan, to talk about mammograms, offer advice about checking your breasts, healthy lifestyles and family risk.
Our nurses have valuable advice about symptoms, treatments, support groups and post-surgery options.
The breast care nurses have visual and hands-on displays of breast cancer symptoms that most women won’t have seen before, and will use prosthetic breasts to show what a lump feels like.
We are currently touring the Porirua and Wellington regions with the Pink Caravan. Our breast nurses would love to have a chat to you, so check out where the Caravan is headed and when it comes to a town near you, pop in and say hi.
- On 1 November, our team of breast care nurses will park the Pink caravan in Porirua for the day at Countdown store (Cnr Parumoana St & Lyttleton Avenue, Porirua)
- On 3 November, the Pink caravan will be parked in Tawa for the day at New World store (35 Oxford Street, Tawa, Wellington)
- On 10 November, the Pink caravan will be parked in Tawa for the day at Countdown store (5 William Earp Place, Tawa, Wellington)
- On 12 November, the Pink caravan will be parked in Whitby for the day at New World store (Whitby Village Cntr, Whitby, Porirua)

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?

New World Khandallah parking warning and appeal to nearby business owners
For very valid reasons (local commuters abuse) the New World has allowed the draconian Smartcomply company to police their carpark on their behalf.
Smartcomply will hit you with an $85 'fine' if you stay one second beyond the 60 minutes allowed.
Can I appeal to all nearby business's (especially eateries) to display a clearly visible "ARE YOU PARKED IN THE NEW WORD CARPARK' notice so customers can be warned about the possibility of an unpleasant post dining experience surprise.
A local eatery, and New World itself, could lose future custom due Smartcomply's excessive actions, as is likely our case.
Indeed I would urge any business local to a Smartcomply operation to implement a "ARE YOU PARKED IN ..........." notice if they wanted to avoid a lose in trade.
Here is the link to their Terms and Conditions that all entrants to a carpark under their control are expected to notice and read.
