Te taunga wakarererangi ki Poneke...WLGN AIRPORT(p.m deetz)
Tēnā koutou e te whānau,
Are we all aware of the newly released development plans for Wellington Airport, their $1b+ plan to allow for yet more pollution of our air, waterways, radio frequencies and whenua...land....as WE are still being bombarded by AIRPORT PARK IN OUR DRIVEWAYS & RUN Wellington Airport customers...my awesome neighbours and I share the same view, if you can pay to travel overseas, surely you can pay for safe parking at the AIRPORT...funny that they have so much land & have purchased the back end of the Miramar Golf Course to build yet more concrete jungle parking for their customers whilst we have so many homeless or struggling to make ends meet now living & begging on our streets here (Roxy, Matua Bun our local businesses & Kilbirnie aswell Countdown)What are WE going to do about this as LOCAL CITIZENS & RESIDENTS OF OUR COMMUNITY, as parents, grandparents, Aunties, uncles, cousins who are guardians of our future leaders? What action are WE going to take...Miramar Eco Society, Motu Kairangi Takiwā...any suggestions are more than welcome. Our voices and action combined together will make a huge impact, so let’s do something rather than sit back and do nothing...Ki te hoe e te hāpori...Lets Do this Motu Kairangi and our surrounding communities...Miramar Community House, Community minded and wellbeing...I will be in touch again shortly as I am hoping that our community will be able to utilise our Community House as a point of contact and base...all those who live outside of our effected communities please have a heart, put yourselves in our shoes, our kids and grandchildren who will suffer now & into the future from the ripple effect just as much, if not more than us adults(the cause of the effect)please if you contribute by way of commenting, please ensure that we stay on track and suggest only achievable and do-able actions...The time is nigh 💜🔥💜👆🏼💜🌊I
Why Leonie loves lawn bowls
For the uninitiated, lawn bowls may just look like a bunch of people throwing balls up and down a flat piece of grass.
But for Evelyn Page Retirement Village resident Leonie, it is a game of skill that has brought her 40 years of friendship, camaraderie and many fun-filled experiences and memories.
So much so, that she has dedicated most of the last 20-plus years to umpiring the game. It is her way of giving back, she says, and now she is lending those skills to the upcoming trans-Tasman inter-village Ryman Roll Up.

Watch out for SCAMS
Neighbourly is aware that online safety is front of mind for members, and scams are getting more tricky to spot. So we thought we'd share some tips from Netsafe to keep you informed about what to avoid and where to get help.
Where do scams take place?
Over the phone, via text message, via email, online or even in person.
What red flags should you be looking out for? Ask yourself these questions...
- Were you expecting this message? or was it out of the blue?
- Are they saying there's a problem which you didn't anticipate?
- Are you having to give money over?
- Are you being rushed?
- Are you being told to click on a link or go to an unfamiliar website?
- Are you being asked to share personal info or passwords?
- Are you being asked to pay in a strange way like wire transfer, gift cards, etc
- Does something not feel right? Do you feel confused?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, it's best to stop communicating and seek support. But if you've already given over money, contact your bank immediately.
You can check if it's a scam by contacting |Netsafe|:
- Toll-free on 0508 NETSAFE (0508 638 723) or +6496660840 if calling from outside New Zealand
- Emailing help@netsafe.org.nz
If you're pretty sure it's a scam, make a report at netsafe.org.nz

In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.
