Te taunga wakarererangi ki Poneke...WLGN AIRPORT(p.m deetz)
Tēnā koutou e te whānau,
Are we all aware of the newly released development plans for Wellington Airport, their $1b+ plan to allow for yet more pollution of our air, waterways, radio frequencies and whenua...land....as WE are still being bombarded by AIRPORT PARK IN OUR DRIVEWAYS & RUN Wellington Airport customers...my awesome neighbours and I share the same view, if you can pay to travel overseas, surely you can pay for safe parking at the AIRPORT...funny that they have so much land & have purchased the back end of the Miramar Golf Course to build yet more concrete jungle parking for their customers whilst we have so many homeless or struggling to make ends meet now living & begging on our streets here (Roxy, Matua Bun our local businesses & Kilbirnie aswell Countdown)What are WE going to do about this as LOCAL CITIZENS & RESIDENTS OF OUR COMMUNITY, as parents, grandparents, Aunties, uncles, cousins who are guardians of our future leaders? What action are WE going to take...Miramar Eco Society, Motu Kairangi Takiwā...any suggestions are more than welcome. Our voices and action combined together will make a huge impact, so let’s do something rather than sit back and do nothing...Ki te hoe e te hāpori...Lets Do this Motu Kairangi and our surrounding communities...Miramar Community House, Community minded and wellbeing...I will be in touch again shortly as I am hoping that our community will be able to utilise our Community House as a point of contact and base...all those who live outside of our effected communities please have a heart, put yourselves in our shoes, our kids and grandchildren who will suffer now & into the future from the ripple effect just as much, if not more than us adults(the cause of the effect)please if you contribute by way of commenting, please ensure that we stay on track and suggest only achievable and do-able actions...The time is nigh 💜🔥💜👆🏼💜🌊I
Summer on the South Coast
Summer is here again! Fantastic weather beckoning all to get out and enjoy it.
So my request is, if you are cycling, running, walking on our beautiful south coast roads between Breaker Bay and Ohwiro Bay - please be courteous to all road users, even those of us stuck in cars.
The roads are scenic, but they are also narrow, with lots of blind corners. This makes it very difficult for faster moving traffic (cars) to pass slower moving traffic (cycles, walkers, runners). On a bad day this can result in frustrated cars making rash decisions to overtake - putting everyone in danger.
If you are enjoying the coast road on a cycle, and there are cars behind you, please do be considerate and pull over when you have a chance so that they can pass. "Hugging the left" does not really help on a narrow road with blindspots. Stopping is ideal.
If you are enjoying coast on foot, please be conscious of visibility and stay off the road where possible.
If you are enjoying the coast in a car, please be courteous to others - good will spreads, unfortunately so does selfishness.
Lastly - everyone watch out for penguins, they were here first but they don't read Neighbourly or road signs.
Happy and Safe summer everyone.
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?
