26 More Classrooms Needed if development goes through for Ohoka Primary
The MOE has a firm stance on not adding any more schools in Ohoka. If the change of plan goes thru, Ohoka primary will be the zoned school for the New Ohoka Development. To met demand they will need 26 more class rooms to cope. The principal of Ohoka Primary said Ohoka school as it is today wont be able to cope. They will have to build a new school and they will loose all the rural charm the school has on offer now. All the schools in Ohoka area are close if not over capacity. Please send in a submission to not approve this change in the district plan. ANYONE, ANYWHERE can make a submission. www.waimakariri.govt.nz....

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
