Fire weather figures predicted for today (Tuesday 5 March) indicate that extreme conditions will exist in the wider Tauranga area.

Many areas of the BoP will be in danger but higher afternoon wind speeds make Tauranga particularly susceptible. Fire and Emergency NZ would like to remind everyone to take care with any activities which could create sparks. One of the highest risks is from long, dry grass and maize which can easily be ignited by accidental sparks from machinery used to mow or harvest it.

Remember, if you see anything suspicious call 111 for Fire and Emergency. Please pass this message on!

Concrete cutting

Bernadette from Hairini

Hi all, I’m trying to get this area prepped for a new slab, thought I could just lift the cracked concrete kerbing but some over zealous person has put 2 rods of reinforcing thru it, so if anyone can help cut thru that I’d be grateful, happy to pay something.

Knowing your neighbours is one thing, but actually spending time together is to write a much richer story together... an opportunity to have fun, learn more about each other, and recognise that the strings that connect us often run much longer than just the length of our streets.

This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn't the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it's the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.

A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which is celebrating it's 10th anniversary from March 22nd to 31st. To help you get started, we love their suggestions for 10 little and 10 big ways to get involved. (link below)

Let us know how you're celebrating this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
