Petition against sale of NCC water assets to government
Nelson ratepayers may wish to sign the petition "Nelson City Council : 3 Waters Issues" as to whether or not Council will decide to sell-off our water assets to government.
These assets are valued at $685M and Minister Mahuta has offered $20M in compensation.
So far 40 Councils out of 67 have said NO to Government - and so should Nelson City Council.
You can help convince Council by adding your name.
The goal is to reach 500 signatures and your support is needed.
Let every Nelson ratepayer know.

Beware of this driver!
Last Friday, outside 51 Barnard St, Wadestown the driver of LAD439, whose name I know and who was witnessed and photographed, reversed into my orange Suzuki Swift, then looked at the damage he'd caused, then left a note with his name and a phone number. I have been to the police, and the number they have for him id different to the one he left me. He is not answering calls to either number. Locals are a bit over this sort of thing happening in this location. if anyone knows this man, initials 'S.A', please let me know or give him a good talking to on my behalf!
Why Leonie loves lawn bowls
For the uninitiated, lawn bowls may just look like a bunch of people throwing balls up and down a flat piece of grass.
But for Evelyn Page Retirement Village resident Leonie, it is a game of skill that has brought her 40 years of friendship, camaraderie and many fun-filled experiences and memories.
So much so, that she has dedicated most of the last 20-plus years to umpiring the game. It is her way of giving back, she says, and now she is lending those skills to the upcoming trans-Tasman inter-village Ryman Roll Up.

Watch out for SCAMS
Neighbourly is aware that online safety is front of mind for members, and scams are getting more tricky to spot. So we thought we'd share some tips from Netsafe to keep you informed about what to avoid and where to get help.
Where do scams take place?
Over the phone, via text message, via email, online or even in person.
What red flags should you be looking out for? Ask yourself these questions...
- Were you expecting this message? or was it out of the blue?
- Are they saying there's a problem which you didn't anticipate?
- Are you having to give money over?
- Are you being rushed?
- Are you being told to click on a link or go to an unfamiliar website?
- Are you being asked to share personal info or passwords?
- Are you being asked to pay in a strange way like wire transfer, gift cards, etc
- Does something not feel right? Do you feel confused?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, it's best to stop communicating and seek support. But if you've already given over money, contact your bank immediately.
