Safe footpaths for pedestrians
Do you like to walk? Most people do, it is our most popular recreation in New Zealand and the most climate-friendly healthy way to get around every day. Do you think footpaths should be safe for pedestrians to have a nice pleasant walk wherever they want to go? It's time to take action to take back footpaths from escooters.
Sign this petition from the Disabled Persons Assembly for safe footpaths.

New Zealand escooter use is one of the least regulated in the world, it means that pedestrians often feel unsafe out walking as escooters whizz past and frequently have to navigate around escooters all over the footpath. For some people this is not a big deal, for others it means they can not get out and do what they need to. I have been stuck at home with escooters blocking my gate on several occasions. It's ok, I can climb over the fence and drag them away. A friend said today he has been poked in the eye by hard-to-see escooter handles at night - he is in a wheelchair. Our MP Ibrahim Omer has been knocked off his feet by an escooter rider. There are many similar stories. Not everyone can walk around or move a heavy escooter.
Waka Kotahi the NZ Transport Agency has a survey about escooter regulation. Take the survey and say no to renewing the Gazette notice that allows escooters to use footpaths. There are many better options to regulate escooters to use the road and cycle lanes. Treat escooters like ebikes.

Addictive Eaters Anonymous
What is Addictive Eaters Anonymous?
Addictive Eaters Anonymous (AEA) is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from addictive eating.
AEA has members who have suffered from anorexia, bulimia and binge eating. Many have been underweight, overweight or obese; others were people of average weight yet suffered with an obsession with food. Members may have used exercise and other substances to try and control their weight. Before coming to AEA, members found that they were powerless over food, and unable to stop the food obsession.
