Community Support
Woolston Development Project is able to provide support to families via phone or email contact during the Lockdown period. Gaylene Waugh, our Family Support Worker, may be contacted directly on 02040356964. Any other enquiries regarding our services/programmes may be directed to Bev Adams at w.dp@xtra.co.nz. We are particularly interested in suggestions regarding the supports that may be needed after Lockdown ends as we transition back to 'normality'. Have these weeks of being at home made you more aware that your circle of friends is too small, that you do not have enough interests/hobbies, that your network of support hasn't worked for whatever reason? We are interested in hearing your experiences and your thoughts of what could be provided to strengthen our community.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
