Petition to help young family

Craig from Grey Lynn

Hi there,


I'm helping a young family with links to the neighbourhood who are facing significant financial and emotional distress because of issues with their 'new build' home



A petition has been started on Change.Org which outlines their plight.

www.change.org...

The family - mum, dad and their young daughter - face growing frustrations, particularly with the Waikato District Council. Disappointingly even elected councillors, who you would hope would represent their constituents, are refusing to engage.

We hope that growing the number of votes on the petition will help spur the conscience of councillors and others, as well as start a conversation on a better way to support those let down by people they should have been able to trust.

Thanks for your consideration...

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!
