Do you think having a third supermarket chain will bring competition and lower grocery prices, or will the existing giants still dominate?

Hello neighbours! My name is Nora, I'm 22 years old, and I'm from Barcelona. I just arrived in the area after spending five months in Queenstown, and I'm looking for a place to live. I've been sleeping in my car for the past two months while traveling. But now that I'm starting work, I'd love to have a more stable place.
I'm open to different options:
- A single or shared room (I have a friend who is also looking).
- A spot to park my car, while having access to a kitchen and bathroom.
I'm a sociable and active person who loves sharing experiences with new people. I'm always out exploring and doing outdoor activities, and I enjoy good conversations and cultural exchanges. If you're looking for an easy-going flatmate who brings good vibes to the house, feel free to message me! I'd also love the opportunity to stay with a local family and experience their way of life. I really enjoy being around kids, and I'd be happy to help out whenever needed. I’ll cook Spanish meals for everyone and teach some Spanish!
PS This morning, I met Elly and Leo at the Papamoa Parkrun, and they offered to post this message on the Neighbourly website to help me reach more people.
Thank you so much! Nora, 021 706 934, nferrerparpal@gmail.com

Around 5:20pm on Wednesday 26 March, Police responded to a dairy on Willow Street following reports that a group of people entered the store, some armed with weapons (not firearms), and stole vape products.
Subsequent enquiries have revealed the individuals then regrouped on The Strand a short time later.
One person has since been identified, and today Police executed a search warrant at a Tauranga residential address where that young person was taken into custody.
They are due to appear in the Tauranga Youth Court in due course.
We are committed to seeing the other people identified and held to account, as there is no place for violent offending in our community.
We need your help, and we are asking anyone with information to come forward.
If you witnessed the robbery or have any footage or information that may assist in our investigation, please contact us on 105 either online or over the phone referencing file number: 250326/3631.
Information can also be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
