If you didn't get to spend enough time poring over the maps and numbers or you'd like to get more info from some of the expert members of the team, then remember we're doing it again tomorrow (Saturday) - between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.. We'll do it downstairs in the side room of Greytown Library - that'll give us more space to spread out the maps and see them from all sides. See you there.
By the way- quite a few people asked how we'd narrow down the options and make a decision. We're already starting to get a real feel from the drop in last night of what people seem to prefer. So we'll keep on keeping everyone in the loop all the way through - you're doing a heck of a good job of making the decisions by guiding us through your feedback!
Also don't forget the easy peasy plant a tree meet of the Friends of the Waiohine on Sunday. With them we're making a small but important start on making the river our little slice of paradise.
From the project team.

Neighbourly's own Sarah Moore has started studying te reo Māori follow her journey here.

These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.
No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.
Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.
Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.
