Howdy neighbours. We are after someone that could make us some austrian style curtains. The two windows we have aren't big.

Our Coordinator at Hastings District Council recently sent us this snap from a get together with residents from a new suburb who are keen to get Neighbourhood Support up and running.

To gauge interest, he hosted a free barbecue at a park with the support of their local New Zealand Police to bring neighbours together to discuss setting it up. Every group is different in how it chooses to operate. Our policy is whatever works best for your area!

Palmerston North's dog pound run by the council isn't up to scratch.

A report showed animal welfare wasn't up to standard sparking questions from central government about the facility's responsibility to the pups.

On Wednesday the council approved a proposal to build a new $3 million facility, as the old pound could not be brought up to compliance standards.

What other standards do you think are slipping around the city?

HALCOMBE GLASS GONE BUT THEN THREATENED WITH $200,000 FINE IF I DON'T GO

Firstly I would like to thank all those that supported me from Neighborly in the fight to get the glass bins moved.
Quick history: Halcombe Community Committee decided that the best place to put glass collection bins was less than a meter from my boundary fence, in a residential area. Only 1 neighbor was consulted. After 2 years the Council admitted there were no resource consents. A noise test was done but I never saw the results. I had the glass noise tested and it was 20 decibels over the allowed 45 decibels. I have owned my land here for 20 years and pay $2,000 a year in rates but I got no say. The Halcombe CC put on the internet that I am living here illegally and have no rights at all. Many nasty comments followed from those that wanted the 24/7 access glass bins to stay on my boundary fence. Bullying is never OK Halcombe! I have not heard of anyone volunteering to have the recycling center next to them.
2 hours after I asked the Council for the Resource Consents a Council worker unlawfully jumped over my locked gate while I was not home. Unaccompanied he was peering in my windows, opening doors to my private buildings, went inside one building and took photos of my personal belongings which the council then went on to share over the internet. I was then sent a Notice to Fix (also known in the Tiny House world as an eviction notice) to comply or leave my property by Feb 7th or get a $200,000 fine. Rate payer money has been used to pay lawyers in Auckland to try and make me homeless. United Nations say our Homeless crisis is a human rights violation.

This is when Fair Go was contacted and they very kindly came down to do the story. This will be aired this Monday at 7:30pm.
