Our quoits game is always a big hit at the Christmas parade but we must have given away 170 drinks and then all the other prizes.
Please remember to look after your neighbours over Christmas. Maybe do some baking or even just pop in and say hi. Bring them a smile just like our game did!
Thanks Papakura Rotary and Papakura Local Board for a wonderful event.

🚨 Papakura Crime Report – Q2 2025 Now Out 🚨

The latest crime trends for our community are in—and there’s a lot to be proud of 👏

✅ Vehicle thefts and wilful damage are down
✅ Disorderly behaviour remains low
✅ Theft and driving offences are trending lower
📉 June recorded the lowest wilful damage rate in 3 years!

But there are still things to watch:
⚠️ Burglary spiked in May before dropping again
⚠️ Car-related offences remain our largest category
⚠️ Robbery had a small increase around the Easter holidays

🧠 What we learned:
– Shorter daylight hours = more burglaries
– School holidays = more youth-related incidents
– Community patrols, youth programmes & smarter parking = lower crime!

📌 Check out what we’re recommending:
– Lock your car (especially older imports!)
– Use timer lights at home
– Report suspicious behaviour early
– Support youth activities during school breaks
– Keep the pressure on with holiday police checkpoints
