We Say, You Say: Banks

Neighbourly.co.nz

Hi Hauraki,

What do you think about having no bank in Coromandel Town?

BNZ announced it will close 38 of its branches nationwide, with shutdowns beginning in April 2021. With the bank closure looming for Coromandel Town residents, elderly are left feeling anxious and unsure of how to adapt.

Residents who require face to face services are now forced to go to Thames or Whitianga, with many angry at the renegation of the promise for these rural branches to stay open until 2022.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
