Hello neighbours
Are you a part of a Neighbourhood Support group in your street? Statistics show that less crime occurs in streets with active Neighbourhood Support groups and neighbours who know eachother fare better in emergencies.
Neighbourhood Support is different from Neighbourly in that we are a separate organisation - we're an affiliate of Neighbourhood Support New Zealand. We are a non-profit and membership is free (and always will be!)
We'll provide you with free advice, training and resources as well as crime reports; emergency preparedness and safety information so you can stay updated and informed.
If you'd like to start or join a group, please reach out to the coordinator at 073761601, email nstaupo@outlook.com or join us online: taupo.getsready.net...
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? π°π²
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if itβs approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

A riddle to start the festive season π²ππ
I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?
