Watch out for garden thieves

Terri from Birchville

Hi Birchville neighbours. Keep vigilant for silent lowlife creeping into your gardens and stripping your trees of fruit. My friend had ALL her apples and crabapples taken - even the windfalls on the ground. Nothing left except one little crabapple on the road outside. Who is making jellies … View moreHi Birchville neighbours. Keep vigilant for silent lowlife creeping into your gardens and stripping your trees of fruit. My friend had ALL her apples and crabapples taken - even the windfalls on the ground. Nothing left except one little crabapple on the road outside. Who is making jellies and preserves? Buy or grow your own. This fruit was needed by the owner who spent all year waiting for it. She is devastated and feels unsafe in her home now. It is not just about the money.

Upper Hutt: Wider Community Connectivity

To however gets to read this message:
The graphic that represents this "Organisation" is evidently no longer valid. North/South, East/West (and everything in between) of the Hutt River is no longer accepted.
No longer are we able to reach from Pinehaven/ Silverstream to Kaitoke (or others outside our direct "Nearby Neighbours") to ensure we could all communicate when relating to Upper Hutt-wide issues.
I am unsure when this change occurred as I was NOT informed of any such move. I have my suspicions, but no evidence.
Currently it would seem the messages via the 'Organisation' now only go to the Nearby Neighbours of Timberlea!
MY REQUEST FROM WHOMEVER READS THIS MESSAGE:
Please post a reply simply stating your Neighbourly area.
This info may give me some data to look at. It will clarify in my mind as to whether or not I remain a Neighbourly member.

Our team at Wellington Seamarket has started doing contactless home deliveries for fresh fish and frozen seafood products.

If you would like to get some fresh fish for dinner tomorrow night you can order here.

Our fish comes in daily from fishermen around Wellington and collaborators around the country (such as Barnes Wild Oyster for Bluff Oysters).

Our goal is to get the fish prepared and delivered to your door within 24 hours of it hitting the deck!

We deliver Monday to Friday, and cover the bottom half of the North Island (Wellington to Palmerston North).
