Karori Friendship Club for seniors

Angela Gordon from St Ninian's Uniting Parish

If you're a Senior who'd like to stay active and connected in the community, then the Karori Friendship club is for you! We're a fun group of retired folks who meet each Tuesday from 10am-1pm at St Ninian's (opposite KNS).

We have an ever-changing line up of guest speakers, music, entertainment, quizzes, games and more - plus we always put the world to rights over a cuppa.

For a koha, morning tea and a light lunch is served. Transport can also be provided, call Rachel in the St Ninian's office on 476 7137.

You don't have to be from Karori to join us - we have members from all over the city.

St Ninian's is at 208 Karori Rd. There is parking available on the side streets around the church.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? πŸ’°πŸŒ²

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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 it’s 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.

Constable Street car wash rip off!

Niki from Newtown

Hi, today I went to the Constable Street car wash that's beside the petrol station. After depositing $6 for three different rinse cycles I discovered that there was no water pressure for any of them. I had just foamed my car so I had to drive around and join the que again to use the left car wash....this time I discovered that $2 only rinses half of my small Suzuki Swift whereas $2 used to rinse the whole car nicely. Two or three weeks ago I encountered the same 'no water pressure' problem there. I imagine that people will be depositing $2 coins to no avail in a continuous stream. It appears that the owner doesn't care about providing a proper service to to their paying customers.
