The off-street Pay & Display machines have also been upgraded to the new Pay by Plate system. The ticketless meters mean drivers enter their vehicle plate number, and desired parking time, before using coins or a credit/debit card to pay.
A new ‘Pay my Park’ app that’s free to download from Google Play or the App Store can also be used to pay for parking, without having to stop off at a parking terminal.

It was said "there were a couple of other incidents during the night, but they were all in relation to locals. Frankly, the boy racers were better behaved than locals."
Are boy racers or the locals to blame for chaos in your neck of the woods?

They're now calling me Little Red Riding Hood with my gift basket, as I’m out and about in the community visiting and sharing freely, with those who want to know what’s happening in the property market.
People are always at the forefront of my real estate business because without people I wouldn’t have homes to sell. There is nothing more gratifying in my day than giving the gift of kindness!
Take a guess at what’s in the envelope I’m holding and be in the draw to win a mystery prize. 😉 🙌 (don’t forget to like my page too)

This World Refugee Day, we challenge everyone in New Zealand to join together and take a step to make a difference.
You can take part in the #StepWithRefugees campaign, where participants will collectively walk, run and cycle 1 billion miles - the distance refugees cover each year to reach safety, by adding your steps here: stepwithrefugees.org...
Another option is to volunteer with the New Zealand Red Cross as a Refugee Support Volunteer. Volunteers help families start again, while teaching them about New Zealand culture and connecting them with people from the community.
For anyone based in the Wairarapa, Masterton Neighbourhood Support has a programme called 'WeConnect' that matches new residents from diverse backgrounds including refugees to a local buddy. If you're interested in volunteering or supporting the programme in other ways you can email Masterton Neighbourhood Support Area Coordinator, Cathy Cameron, at: cathy@connectingcommunities.org.nz
