Message from the co-ordinator

I see a bright light ahead for everyone in the coverage area of Neighbourhood Support (NS) Rotorua.

We are all wanting a safer future and this is exactly what we as NS endeavour to do. A bright shiny and safe future for us all.

We probably all know someone who has performed some DIY at home and in their gardens. This is a testament to the courageous Kiwis who are kind and caring.

With hopefully the worst of the pandemic pretty much behind us, so many want to get away for a holiday – and a well-deserved one at that.

Yet the home should be left in safe hands, or at least with adequate security in mind.

One of the best ways to improve home security is simply to cut back the trees

(usually in winter) and install deadbolts on the entry doors to your home.

Deadbolts are not expensive and with peace of mind a holiday is a well-earned break.

Another way is the installation of security lights, the type that when someone comes on to your property the lights will come on.

It is even better when coupled with your own security cameras to record the activity.

Many of these cameras will alert you on your smart phone and some can record the incident. These are worthwhile investments and endeavour to install 2k or 4k cameras.

Our message to all the neighbours is to keep safe and enjoy life.

Face to face interaction is back, and at the time of writing, we are in the Covid orange light status.

It is advisable to get to know your neighbours as those near you are the ones who are going to be the first responders to your alarm going off.

Together is a wonderful word with an important lesson.

Neighbours working together and looking out for each other creates that motto, a safer Rotorua.

Together we can make Rotorua an even better place for all to live in.

I love Rotorua, the place where people have time – not sitting in a long traffic-jams, but getting home pretty quickly and then going for a walk in the Redwoods, visiting the evening life in town or going for a coffee.

We are really blessed to have time and we should make the most of it.

It is my belief that we are more appreciative of what we have and spoilt for choice as to where we can take a loved one for a jolly good dinner.

I would even challenge you to visit a place where you have not been before.

This is Rotorua – it is our home and we can be proud of what we have.

Safety is a big part of NS and we intend to show the world that we do care for you too.

One thing to look for is the new and updated NS signs in your area and this will show everyone that we do care for you, your safety and the safety of your area.

Should anyone wish to have a sign in their road, please let the NS office know as we will provide these to you, or position the signs for you.

They only go in the areas where a street contact is present.

If you wish to volunteer and become a street contact, we would also welcome you.

From a financial aspect, we also ask our supporters to consider some financial assistance for our work.

Covid has given us a financial hit and your donations will be appreciated.

Thus, I wish you all a very happy 2022/2023 year.

May it be a safe and enjoyable year.

I am very proud to be part of this resilient and inspiring group who call themselves supports of Neighbourhood Support.

Kind regards
