First home buying stories wanted
Hi everyone! I'm Kylie, a Homed reporter. We're looking for people who have fairly recent, interesting, unique or off-the-wall stories to tell about how they bought their first homes. Did you move away from your home just to find a more affordable property? Did you scrimp and save for years to get a deposit together? Perhaps your family chipped in to help get you on the ladder? Are you older and buying for the first time? Did you choose to move into a home with a friend or another couple to make it more affordable? Please let us know in the comments below, or drop me a line in the messages. Your comments my be used in a story, but we'd also be interested in chatting to you for an exciting project coming up!

Bus to Orewa
Hi everyone, in the proposed changes to the bus and ferries timetable, I note that once again we have been denied a straight through bus from Army Bay to Orewa. We are expected to go right past the turnoffs to Orewa, go to the station in Silverdale,, and then get a bus to Orewa. It’s ridiculous, time wasting, and of no use what so ever. Come on everyone, get behind this and make some noise about it. Just another reason at the moment, not to use the buses. Let’s see if we can change this.😃
