Amazing stories in HB
My industry that I work in has it's ups and downs but when you get to be involved in seeing a story like this unfold, you realise that you get to be a part of some amazing life changing stories that make you proud to be in the industry. This one takes the biscuit!
Imagine being in the situation of this couple during the cyclone. You can read their story in the link below.

I was selling a home in Havelock North last month and my colleague Gavin approached me about the couple in the article who were interested in this property and had basically escaped the cyclone damaged home of theirs with the clothes on their back. My Vendors heard their story and commented that it was their turn to help a victim of the cyclone. So they sold them the house and gifted nearly everything in it, right down to the beds and washing machine, knives and forks!
There are some amazing people in our community and seeing the joy of both these couples, the givers and the receivers, well for me this is real community spirit.

Electrician needed
Hi. Does anyone know of a good electrician who does not charge the earth. We need a security light disconnected and blocked off. Putting new one in in a different place.
Thanks

Secure your homes over summer
Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.
Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
“Burglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.”
Inspector Barnaby says there’s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
⚠️ If you’re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
⚠️ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
⚠️ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if you’re going away and look out for one another.”
If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.
