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?

Celebrate Play Week: 26 October to 1 November 2024
“Our culture has become so busy and task-oriented that play has been pushed to the back and undervalued” says our play-advocate Melinda Butt. "We have the most sedentary generation of youth ever, and this will have flow-on effects on young people's physical abilities, communication, problem-solving and mental wellbeing."
So we're getting behind "play week", aimed at reintroducing the joy and value of play in our local environments.

So far we're promoting a 🪁 Kite Day and a kids 🦈 fishing day in Waipu. What are some other ideas for Play Week?
Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?
There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.
Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.
