Plimmerton resident Bella Cawthorn, she of the Afro hairstyle, is a freelance facilitator who has made a study of how communities can discuss and influence things which might affect them.

She took as an example transport and urban form: “Healthy Streets”. Modes and availabilities of transport, and where we live, have a big impact on our mental and physical wellbeing. Poor choices can lead to social isolation, frustration and inefficiency.

Urban design leads to consultative processes which are usually at too high or too low a level, but there are some rules of thumb which seem to work well.

Increased housing density can be successful, with ‘retrofitting’ preferred to greenfield expansion. We should not be afraid of trying something different. We should enable the market to make good choices, and we ‘nudge’ designs in the right direction, rather than force the issue.

Highly impressive German Pianist Michael Endres has agreed to open the Mulled Wine
Concert programme this year. He performs worldwide as soloist and chamber music partner. He graduated from Juilliard School in New York and studied with Peter Feuchtwanger in London.

His extensive prizewinning discography of 29 CD’s includes the prestigious Diapason d’or (France) which he was recently awarded for the third time and the Choc du Musique which he has won twice.

His solo recordings include cycles of the complete sonatas by Mozart, Schubert, the complete works of Ravel and Gershwin. In the USA he is described as”one of the most interesting pianists recording today”. The New York Times wrote: ”the performances with pianist Michael Endres were revelatory” and the Gramophone Magazine stated: ”he is an

outstanding Schubert interpreter”. He has a distinguished teaching career as Professor of Piano in Berlin, University of Canterbury, and Norway.

Movin’ March celebrates the benefits of walking, scooting and biking to school. The month long event is run by Greater Wellington in partnership with local councils and is free for primary schools in the Wellington region.

Walking, cycling and scooting to school have many benefits for tamariki. As well as being a great opportunity for regular exercise in the outdoors, they improve independence, physical and mental health, decision making, risk assessment and road safety skills.

How will you celebrate Movin’ March?
