Community Constable Don Allan's newsletter

Colleen from Onehunga

Hi Neighbours,
Here's Don's June report for us with a positive intro, that property crime was down in June compared to May. Then into the rest of the newsletter..... stolen number plates( 86 in Auckland - 9 of which were taken in Onehunga) with a free Onehunga Community Patrol day on the 28th of July from 10 - 2 pm at Countdown Greenlane where, the Volunteers will secure your plates for you with anti-tamperproof screws which slow the criminals down.

If anyone has a few hours free, the Onehunga Community Patrol always needs Volunteers. I did this for a few years at Mangere Bridge, it's simple and helpful to the community.

There's lots of other helpful information on how to keep your home and possessions safer.

Regards
Colleen

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
