Hi Neighbours.
After seeing the above ph no. on my cell ph (my ph showed the message it was a scam call).
I did not answer it or the message they left - deleted & blocked straight away. I rung One.NZ (Vodafone) & they confirmed it was a scam.

It's 1950s post-war London and Rodney Williams (Nighy) is a bureaucrat at the tail end of his distinctly unremarkable career.
But a cancer diagnosis from his doctor drives Rodney to review his life and make the effort to achieve something wonderful for those around him whilst he still can.

The old "Lovers Lane Bridge" has been repaired many times but has now reached the end of its lifespan. The new design will completely remove the central pillar, a feature which has caused problems in the stream for many years, and be wider and more user-friendly. It forms a vital link between the Kamo Shared Path and Raumanga Shared Path.
Locals and frequent users can plan their detour routes now - access the First Avenue footbridge via Central Avenue (recommended) or along the narrow streamside path.

If you’re unsure of some of these terms, it really won’t help you feel confident in comparing different plans. We don’t want to see our Neighbours get tripped up and stuck with a big bill this chilly season!
