Neighbourly asking to verify email

Chris from Mairehau

Hi all, I've received 2 emails in the space of 4 hours, purportedly from Neighbourly, asking me to verify my email address with them - has anyone else received similar?

It says anyone who hasn't logged into the site for 4 months will receive email claiming that your account will be removed if you don't verify the email. I've definitely logged in at least a couple of times weekly. There are tiny formatting differences between these 2 emails and legit ones from Neighbourly, so I'm suspicious.

The Christchurch City Council, as part of its 10-year budget, the long-term plan, last week confirmed on-street parking in the central city will increase from $3.10 an hour to $4.50 – a 45 per cent increase.

The cost to park at the council’s Lichfield St car park building will also rise from $2.80 an hour to $4 – a 43 per cent increase. The rate at the Art Gallery car park doubles from $2 an hour to $4.

By comparison, people are charged $4.50 an hour to park in central Wellington and $2.50 on the weekend. Auckland charges $5 an hour for the first two hours and then $10 per hour after that.

The on-street fee hikes are expected to generate $660,000 of additional revenue for Christchurch. That figure would have been $960,000, but the council planned to waive the credit card fees and pay them itself, at a cost of $300,000.

The increase in off-street parking charges is expected to bring in an extra $162,000.
