Kia ora Auckland,

Should Queen Street be car-free?

Major roading upgrades are set to get underway on Queen Street which the council says will improve pedestrian spaces.

The work is set to begin on Monday between Shortland and Customs streets, limiting traffic to a single lane each way and with bus priority in the evening peak.

Some have expressed their concerns for the project including a group of businesses and landlords calling itself Save Queen. The group applied for an interim injunction to halt the council's planned Queen St upgrade and a High Court Judge will decide whether to approve the injunction later today.

Should the upgrade go even further and ban passenger vehicles altogether? Let us know in the comments and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comment used in your local community paper.

Date: Saturday, 8th May
Time: 10am – 12noon
Venue: Hibiscus Coast Presbyterian Church, 107 Centreway Road, Orewa

We would like to warmly invite you to a neighbourly meet and greet morning tea & plant swop.

The kaupapa of Neighbours Day Aotearoa is to encourage people to get to know your neighbours better! It is as simple as that!
We would love to get to know our neighbours over a cuppa.
We hope to get to know more about you an as we contribute toward a culture of neighbourly celebration in the love of Christ.

Previous years have seen people joining Neighbours Day Aotearoa to hold plant swaps, BBQs, community movie nights, street parties, beach clean ups, and even small acts like sharing a cup of tea or running errands for our neighbours.

When we connect with our Neighbours good things happen! Here’s our top five benefits of connected neighbours:
1. WELLBEING : When our neighbourhoods are connected and spiritual, physical and emotional health are taken care of, we feel comfortable, happy and healthy.
2. CARING AND SAFETY : When we start from a place of neighbourly caring and generosity, feelings of trust, safety and belonging increase.
3. EMPOWERED : We feel confident to take action when we feel supported by strong social networks and relationships.
4. INCLUSION : We feel accepted in the community when we are allowed to be ourselves, can stretch outside of our comfort zones, and are included in other people’s worlds.
5. RESILIENCE : We can recover quickly from difficulties when we are prepared, we know our neighbours and can ask for and offer support.

If you would like, please bring a plant to swop – we already have a couple to start us off.

Please RSVP with Rev. Werner 021 956 581or simply arrive, we will be waiting.
