Work for the disabled Northland
I was hoping to be able to bring my wheelchair to the Orchard tomorrow 6th May I want to get the hot desking underway I have major disabilities so may need some help and some flexibility from the Orchard.
Just to refresh I run a business Website Design Whangarei. I do not get enough work. I have airway and voice issues so may be puffed and not speak well when answering the phone at home, this makes it hard to get customers.
I am hoping hot-desking at the Orchard and the chance to market with like minded people will give me the opportunity to progress.
I am doing the pick at the Orchard 8 weeks in I have not missed a class. I am putting in the effort.
I am very involved at community level currently Chairman of DPA Northland and Co-Chair of WDC disability advisory group.
Also looking forward to seeing what's happening in The Strand in the CBD with CTN
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?
