Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

New retirement villages are popping up everywhere, with some retirees so keen to get in they're putting down their money before building begins. But would you live in one or would you rather stay in your own home?

Wonderful Winter Diving

Go Dive Center

Hi Neighbours, Sue from Go Dive Center South Auckland/Franklin area.

It sure feels like winter is here but don’t let the cold stop you from diving as that is when the diving heats up with clearer water conditions. We have a great range of 7mm wetsuits and Sharkskin products to keep you warm.

Fruit Trees Wanted Free

Richard from Ngatea

Hello Neighbours, I am the principal of Kaihere School and we would like to plant some fruit trees that will provide free fruit for our children. Realising how expensive fruit trees are, I wondered if anyone had some fruit trees they didn't want that they could donate for a good cause.

Poll: Auckland waterfront stadium - yay or nay?

Emelyn McHardy Reporter from Franklin County News

Hey Neighbours,
On Monday Auckland mayor Phil Goff announced that Aucklanders might have to wait 20 years for a new waterfront stadium.

Some have been against the idea, Eden Park chief executive Nick Sautner said Auckland already had "a stadium for all" in Eden Park.

Hey Neighbours,
On Monday Auckland mayor Phil Goff announced that Aucklanders might have to wait 20 years for a new waterfront stadium.

Some have been against the idea, Eden Park chief executive Nick Sautner said Auckland already had "a stadium for all" in Eden Park.

Redeveloping Eden Park up to international standards was also found to be a chaper alternative, that would cost $700 million less than a new waterfront stadium.

Do you think Auckland needs a new waterfront stadium?
Or do you think Eden Park provides a good 'one stop shop'?
Are you glad the new stadium idea seems to be pushed back?
Do you even think we need to upgrade our stadiums/ make stadiums of an international level?
Leave a comment and let us know what you think. Please put NFP if you don't want us to print your comment.

With cooler weather embracing the country, you may find you’re not getting out and about as much. So now is the ideal time to make sure your home is as fall-proof as possible.

The home safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to make your home safe. It covers how to avoid slips and falls in the home’s most used areas. For example, paths can get icy in winter, applying salt or sand to your path can help avoid any icy slips.

Having a fall can be upsetting. Those over 65 have a one in three chance of having a fall, while those over 80 it’s one in two.

The good news is falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.
