Māpua Willing Wheels -
Voluntary Drivers Community Transport
Happy Birthday - It’s our 1st Birthday!
Māpua Willing Wheels are celebrating their first birthday, having been operational since August 2020. The need for reliable and affordable transport for Māpua and Districts residents was highlighted in the 2019 Residents Community Wellbeing Survey. The fact that the team of volunteer drivers are still going strong a year later shows the demand is there, with many requests coming from repeat customers. The service has been very warmly and positively received and the Wheels team are thrilled to have the support of many local businesses through sponsorship and displaying of their posters. The volunteers have enjoyed meeting new people and being of service to residents in their community. The service is available to anyone that needs it……

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
