Mangere Bridge Neighbourhood Support

Neighbourhood Support Mangere Bridge is overseen by volunteers & work collaboratively with Counties Manukau Police. Better awareness means better security.

Neighbourhood Support Mangere Bridge is overseen by volunteers. We work collaboratively with NZ Police to continue to build household membership in Mangere Bridge. Your Neighbourhood Support Group provides an opportunity for neighbours to work together with each other, the Police and other community organisations to make a difference by enhancing community safety and well being. Neighbourhood Support is not about endless meetings or setting up committees, it is a very informal casual set up. An initial meeting to get started is a good idea, followed by monthly Police Intel Stats forwarded to members. Groups function by mutual effort, trust and cooperation between neighbours by sharing information, ideas and insights. By joining your local group you are saying "I am interested in my neighbourhood and the safety and wellbeing of everyone who lives in it". For groups to be successful, communication in the form of sharing information is most important. That information may come from within the group or from the Police via the Street Contact whose role it is to keep groups informed of what is happening in or near their neighbourhood. Members of Groups should:
# Respond to and report suspicious behavior to the Police first and also to each other
# Employ sensible security habits
# Look out for each other
# Be prepared for civil emergencies, whether it be flood, pandemic, earthquake or other event that causes problems in the community. There is no cost involved. Neighbourhood Support will provide ongoing support and advice for any issues you may encounter. You can also sign up to receive our monthly Police Intel Stats supplied by Counties Manukau Police.

Some neighbours already know each other well and do look out for one another. Forming a group will then only be a matter of contacting Neighbourhood Support Mangere Bridge who will formalise what already exists. EMAIL US NOW FOR MORE INFORMATION TO GET YOUR GROUP STARTED! [email protected]

There has been an increase in theft from vehicles in recent weeks, so here are some reminders to keep your vehicles and valuables safe.

🚗 Valuables, including keys, removed from vehicle, or stored safely out of sight.
Vehicle locked & keys taken with you.
🚙 Ensure tools are removed from trade vehicles before parking on the street.
🚗 Keys & key chains do not display names, addresses, or license plate numbers.

🚗 Alloy wheels secured with fit locking, anti-tamper wheel nuts.
🚗 Car ownership information stored at home, not in vehicle.
🚗 Vehicle fitted with anti-theft device, such as steering wheel lock or alarm.
🚗 If vehicle is keyless, ‘keys’ (or entry device) kept a safe distance from car, away from doors & windows so signal cannot be interfered with.
🚗 Get to know neighbours & their vehicles so you’ll know if you see something that doesn’t seem right.

Always report suspicious behaviour in your neighbourhood.

If it's already happened, phone 105 or report at 105.police.govt.nz. If it's happening now, call 111.

Stolen from a paraplegic! We need the communities help.

Around 320am on 1 May 2026 someone has targeted a home on Mountain Rd and stolen a Batec custom wheelchair attachment which allows the victims specialised wheelchair to be mobile.

The victim is devastated.

The offender who took it didn’t take the battery, so it won’t work. It’s designed to connect to only his wheelchair and won't work on any other wheelchair. The battery has now been hidden and removed from the address.

Please just do the right thing and return it. Pop it over the fence in the middle of the night if you have to.

How can the community help?
1. Share this post
2. Check your cameras from timings below and also register them on them on www.communitycam.co.nz
3. If you find the Batec attachment lying around (weighs about 8kgs), as shown in the photo, take to Police station and give them the file number 260502/0269

💲 Money a bit tight?

We know its tough out there and people are struggling.

Do you want to learn about the full range of financial supports available to you?

“Māngere’s Manage Your Money” has been created to support people facing cost of living pressures, and is focusing on two key areas: helping households manage essential utility costs (power, water, council rates and debt) and ensuring people are aware of the full range of financial supports available, including tax credits, winter energy payments, fuel assistance and rates relief.

The purpose of Māngere’s Manage Your Money night is to provide a practical, one-stop opportunity for families to get support with utilities, debt assistance, rates rebates/relief and check their eligibility for assistance.

Key agencies will be there: including banks, power providers, council, watercare, and government agencies (like Ministry of Social Development (MSD), IRD and Kāinga Ora).

WHEN:
Date: Thursday 30 April
Time: 5.30pm – 7.30pm
Venue: Māngere Town Centre Library

This free event is open to everyone. It is not only for those experiencing financial hardship, but also for families who own homes, have mortgages and want to better understand what support options are available to them. With interest rates expected to rise and ongoing increases in power and rates continuing to drive cost pressures, they have brought providers together to clearly outline what assistance is available and how families can access it.
