St Andrew’s Parish Foyer
Contractors have been asked to submit prices for the St Andrew’s new foyer. Selection
will happen in February and parishioners will endorse the choice. Exciting news for
Jenny’s parish.
New bus pick up points for route 1606 Karehana Bay to Aotea college and
Route 1611 Aotea college to Karehana bay. Increased congestion and lack of safe
loading areas has meant a change in services. Copies of the new plan have been
provided to us and are available from Sandy at plimmertonra@gmail.com

Holiday security
If you don’t yet have a neighbourhood support group organised in your street it’s not
too late! Get a phone and email list up and running and keep your area safe. Make
sure you take precautions to keep your property secure if you are going away during
the holiday season … burglaries and thefts from cars rise steeply at this time of year.
Call Mana Police centre contact Cheryl Hood evenings 233 9548
