Newtown Post Office

Deepa-Rose from Miramar

As some of you may know, the Newtown post office and kiwibank is closing. This is part of an ongoing move by NZPost to change its business model. It has been closing post offices and removing post boxes for some years now, as well as raising prices and reducing services.

As some of you may know, the Newtown post office and kiwibank is closing. This is part of an ongoing move by NZPost to change its business model. It has been closing post offices and removing post boxes for some years now, as well as raising prices and reducing services.

Yes things are changing and fewer letters are sent, but NZPost seems determined to make it as hard and expensive to post a letter as possible. Meanwhile businesses switch to the largely ununionised private operator DX Mail.

Locals are organising on the grounds that as a State Owned Enterprise NZPost should be serving the public rather than just trying to maximise profit. There's a paper petition going around and I'm helping by running the online version. It would be great if you could sign it, and pass on this message to others please.

Does your loved one ride a motorcycle?

The Team from ACC New Zealand

Riding a motorcycle or scooter inevitably carries more risk than driving a four-wheeled vehicle. And it turns out quite a lot of us have someone close to us who rides (in fact, 48% of Neighbourly members!)

If you worry about their safety, there is something you can do: encourage them to take Ride Forever coaching, provided (and heavily subsidised) by ACC. It's delivered by experts and it works, as Simon Gotlieb's story shows. Neighbourly members can book a FREE Ride Forever course before 31 March using promo code NEIGH18 over here.

Hi All,

While the storm has been downgraded, it still could cause problems around the city, and especially low lying coastal areas. It is significant that all flights in and out of Wellington Airport have been cancelled between 3.30pm and midnight.

If you are encountering issues, which Council can assist in resolving, please don't hesitate to ring Council's Helpline on 4994444.

Additionally there is The Fix It Phone Application, which can also be used to report problems.

High tide is at 9.40pm tonight, which combined with a gusty southerly wind change could be the most vulnerable time.

Please keep yourselves safe, and look after your neighbours.
