Let’s Talk Waimakariri
Hi,
COVID-19 has affected everyone in one way, shape or form. The Council is looking for ideas and feedback to shape a plan for Waimakariri’s recovery in the wake of COVID-19.
To best reflect the aspirations of our community we want to hear from as wide a range of Waimakaririans as possible.
How you can help is by sharing this message with your colleagues, friends and networks as well as taking part in the process yourself too.
Google 'Lets Talk Waimakariri" to find the link.A draft plan, called ‘Waimakariri: Better than Before’, is in development and currently has six programmes of focus including:
· Playing a role in leadership, advocacy and providing support for businesses who are facing a downturn
· Preparing strategies to further improve our town centres and business areas while accelerating the ‘green economy'
· Supporting investment from the development and building sector
· Bringing forward planned capital projects that could stimulate the economy and provide jobs
· Ensure the wellbeing of all residents through additional community development and support
· Maximise business survival and enable new business development.
Registering to take part is quick and easy and you will stay informed on what stage of the process we are at throughout.
Thanks,
Simon

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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
