The Pink Caravan is coming to Paraparaumu area - 15 & 16 November

Emilie Petitdemange from Pink Caravan Education & Awareness - Paraparaumu

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 15 November, our team of breast care nurses will park the Pink caravan in Paraparaumu for the day at Coastlands Shopping centre (Coastlands Shoppingtown Ltd, State Highway 1, Paraparaumu)
- On 16 November, our team of breast care nurses will park the Pink caravan in Otaki for the day at New World (155-163 Main Highway, Ōtaki).

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!

John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
