The yellow-legged hornet has distinctive dark legs with bright yellow tips. Hornets are also much larger than honeybees and common wasp species seen in New Zealand.

The yellow-legged hornet is a biosecurity concern due to its potential impact on honeybee and wild bee populations.

How to serve trespass notice?

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

👉🏼 You can trespass someone verbally or in writing. A written a trespass notice is useful in case of any dispute over whether you trespassed someone.

👉🏼 You can trespass someone verbally or in writing. A written a trespass notice is useful in case of any dispute over whether you trespassed someone.

👉🏼 You can use a template to create a trespass notice:
To serve a trespass notice in writing, you need to write the trespassed person a notice warning them that you do not allow them to enter the property and will call the Police if they do. You can use the template on the police website: www.police.govt.nz... or one on the Community Law website: communitylaw.org.nz...

👉🏼 You need three copies of the trespass notice:
You will need three copies. That is, one copy each for you, the person being trespassed, and the Police.

👉🏼 Deliver a copy of the trespass notice to the trespassed person:
You or an attending Police officer can give the trespassed person the notice in person, or you can post the notice to their address. The Trespass Act 1980 does not allow you to deliver a trespass notice by email or other electronic form.
If you try to deliver the notice in person and the trespasser lets it fall to the ground (refuses to accept it) you can still consider it served. Keep their copy and write on it that they refused to accept it.

👉🏼 Deliver a copy of the trespass notice to the Police:
The two ways to deliver the Police copy of the trespass notice are:
* Report a non-emergency report to the police online:
www.police.govt.nz... and attach an electronic copy of the trespass notice.
* If a Police officer is present when you give the notice to the trespassed person, you can give the Police copy to the attending Police officer.

👉🏼 The NZ Police website has more information about serving a Trespass Notice: www.police.govt.nz...

Have a gift voucher of a store that has closed?

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

💳🎁If you have a gift voucher or card for a shop that has closed down, you may not be able to use it or claim your money back. If there is a receiver, you could try and ask to use your voucher or make a claim as an unsecured creditor.

💳🎁If you have a gift voucher or card for a shop that has closed down, you may not be able to use it or claim your money back. If there is a receiver, you could try and ask to use your voucher or make a claim as an unsecured creditor.

Receivers do not legally have to accept your voucher, but they might agree to if you ask. An unsecured creditor is someone who is owed money by a person or a company. The business will have to prioritise paying back their secured creditors, so you will only get what you are owed if there is enough money left after the secured creditors have been paid.

If the gift voucher was paid for by credit card, then the person who paid for the gift voucher can ask their credit card company for a chargeback.
To minimise the risk of losing your money, if you are given a voucher use it as soon as possible.

If you are buying a voucher:
👉pick vouchers that work across multiple retailers or services - for example, fuel vouchers or trade-association vouchers
👉ask the store if they have a trust account to protect voucher holders in the event of the store closing down.

For more information, visit cab.org.nz/article/KB00000401

Tony and June feel like the luckiest people living in a Ryman village.

The couple have lived in their large, sunny serviced apartment for four years now and still can’t quite believe what a good score it was.

“It was the best thing we’ve done,” says June. “It’s north facing, so it gets lots of light, and it’s a good size, so I’ve got room for my card-making supplies.”
