The Nelson Tasman Community Transport Trust (NTCTT) is conducting a study to assess the needs for transport in the Tasman community, particularly Motueka and surrounding area and Tapawera. Last year, the trust established a service between Wakefield and Richmond to help people without a means of transportation to reach out further within their area or to Richmond.
Our vision is of efficient, accessible and sustainable passenger transport services in the Nelson Tasman region which particularly benefit people living in the outlying settlements.
To establish a useful service, we need you to tell us in a short survey what will be the key criteria and places that would most efficiently get the service you deserve and need within your area. (Link to the survey: forms.gle...)
Please return the surveys to I-Site Motueka, The Motueka Guardian, or in the reception area of the Tapawera school by the 22nd June 2020.
Following this process, we would like to invite you to participate in a community conversation on either the 23rd, 24th from 10.30 am or 25th June, from 5.30 pm at the Community Hall in Motueka or the 24th at 4.30 pm and 25th June at 2 pm at Tapawera School (limited places - contact us to book your place or leave your details at the end of the survey or contact details below), that will help to shape the service in more details, with opportunities to voice your ideas and concerns.
Please note, these details will be kept safe within our trust for the purpose of this study.
If you would like more information about this survey or register for the focused conversations in Motueka and Tapawera, please contact Nathalie at admin@ntctt.org.nz, or message us via our Facebook page @NTCommunityTransport, by phone/ text on 0204 196 0553 or every Tuesday between 10.30 am to 1.30 pm at Motropolis - Wallace street - Motueka. We will also be present at the Motueka Market on Sunday mornings till the 21st of June.
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
