Firefighter who became homeless gets place to live from Auckland charity

Mildred Armah Reporter from Central Leader

A former firefighter and surf lifesaving coach who became homeless after suffering from alcoholism and debilitating injuries now has a roof over his head thanks to HomeGround – Auckland City Mission’s 'home' for those in need.

Bryne Gregory​ first received care from the charity three years ago after an accident reduced his mobility and left him unable to work.

With no income he became homeless and found himself on the steps of Auckland City Mission.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

DECK WITH GRASS

Navera from Mangere

I'm only used to decks with wood on them so never had to deal with grass. What if my new deck has grass only. I wanna be able to use that area as a recreational spot where I can sit and chill. I used to do that on my old deck by sitting on the ground. But i can't do that hear. How can I use that space go social purposes. It's all grass. I'm not a big gardener either. But if I can't be using the small deck into anytning else I might as well learn vegetable gardening. If so well where do I start?
