Update on Community Meeting held Monday 17 July 2017
Kia ora koutou
1. A huge mihi/thanks to everyone who attended our meeting, a good response given the late notice for change of date.
2. Thanks to Dennis, Aaron & Kurt who attended and shared some valuable advice.
3. To Brian Field and Debbie Stanton (Bethlehem Primary School) for the venue
We had some awesome, lengthy, very in-depth discussions about what has been going on within our community from victims who were able to share their experiences, concerned neighbours who are willing and able to help whenever/wherever, and general community members.
Some of the concerns share during the evening:
- People are casing the joint
- People walking the streets at 3am??? (Who does that?)
- Whanau doing it to Whanau
- Drugs/Family violence
- Fear of own whanau
- What is petty crime and what is not?
- Egging houses
- Report/Report/Report
- Concerns over Domestic Violence
We shared contact numbers, names, addresses and emails with each other as well as being introduced to groups such as : Neighbourhood Watch, Bethlehem Community Patrol, Ngati Kahu and Ngati Hangarau Hapu members. Booklets and pamphlets on graffiti, keeping ourselves safe are available if anyone would like a copy, please contact me via this post.
Outcomes:
- Keep our eyes and ears open
- Keep ourselves safe
- Check on our neighbours regularly
- Join Neighbour Watch (Kathy & Kathy, please share contact details)
- Join Bethlehem Community Patrol (BCP.org.nz or Facebook) and/or Set up a Patrol around your area
- Keep serial numbers for personal property incase of burglary
- Our Community Constable Paul Wrigley (or Dennis Bidois and Kurt Waugh are available as well)
- If in doubt, call 111 immediately

Shame on You!
This is what greeted workers at Brookfield Sallies yesterday morning. All of it looks like it should have gone straight to the tip, which is what the Sallies will now have to pay to do. Surely whoever does this has no conscience. The Sallies do an amazing job of helping people in times of need and they don't need to be spending any money they receive on doing your dirty work, especially at this time of year.
