Neighbourhood Support in Ōmokoroa
easy and not a burden on your spare time so please give them a call to see if it’s for you.
Congratulations on reaching Level 1, Ōmokoroa. The ‘Be Kind’ mantra was definitely put into practice here with our Street Coordinators reaching out to their groups and people learning to communicate with, help and rely on their neighbours. ‘In This Together’ was also formed and did a wonderful job responding to those in need. That group’s additional concept of Street Captains for any civil defence emergency has been shelved for the foreseeable future.
Timo Gardiner remains our Community Constable until the imminent changes occur. It will be our priority to hold an event with the new Community Constable once they get started. In the meantime, keep reporting all incidents no matter how trivial via the relevant phone number.
Call 111 for immediate danger to person or property. Call 105 for everything else.
You can also call *555 for road traffic incidents such as erratic or speeding drivers. Cathy, Annabel, Noel and Ruth are all back to the job of recruiting new Street Coordinators. There are about 20 streets not covered at the North East end of the peninsula:
Bert Wall Drive (parts), Brendon Close, Edmondson Lane, Fairwayview Drive, Gane Place, Greystone Place, Hamurana Road (parts), Holyoake Terrace (middle), Josephine Place, Kayelene Place (parts), Lakeside Terrace, Margaret Drive (parts), McKenna Lane, Ōmokoroa Road (parts), Parkland Rise, Selina Way, Serenity Drive, Tory Way, Tralee Street, Traverse Lane (parts), Valabina Drive, Western Ave, Whitworth Lane, Winspear
Place.
Call or text Street Coordinator suggestions to Cathy: 021 704 686.
And now for the latest Crime Report from Timo. No need to get too excited; thankfully there is not a lot to report this time around.
Unlawful taking of a motor vehicle on Bert Wall Drive. Nissan Navara TZ2530 stolen from the street. Vehicle was locked but not alarmed.
Still suspicious and aggressive behaviour of youths in the area causing issues and being a public nuisance. Please continue to report these incidents asap.
Ōmokoroa Rd/Western Ave - a motorhome was tampered with and a vehicle broken into, where phones and money were taken.
As always, if you see something, say something. It's not OK to do nothing.
