Quick thinking

Stu Hunt Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Auckland Transport plans to limit traffic in Auckland's CBD to 30kmh and says it will help to save lives and reduce injuries, protect pedestrians and cyclists, and encourage more active travel. We don't have the same traffic volume but the CBDs in Nelson and Richmond are pretty tight circuits. Should we be looking at the same sort of initiative here?

🌟 We are now recruiting volunteers at Citizens Advice Bureau Nelson Tasman! 🌟

Lenka Caslavska from Citizens Advice Bureau Nelson Tasman

If you are curious about volunteering with us, we would love to hear from you! Training includes supported learning and time alongside an experienced mentor.
β€œI was surprised by the professionalism of the training. I learned so much about our community, and the support from my mentor helped me find my feet.”
– CAB volunteer
As a CAB volunteer, no two days are the same. One moment you might be helping someone understand their rights after buying something, another you might simply be listening while someone works through a tricky situation. We do not tell people what to do – we help them understand their options and find what works best for them.
While our website is available anytime, many people really value talking with someone face to face. That is why our local offices matter so much.
πŸ“ Our current opening times:
β€’ Richmond (main office), 9a Cambridge Street: Monday to Thursday, 9am-4.30pm
β€’ Nelson: Mondays and Fridays, 9am-4.30pm, sharing space with Age Concern, 18 Bridge Street
β€’ Motueka: Thursdays, 9.30am–1pm at the Motueka Library (reopening soon!)
To offer this free service to everyone in our community, we rely on well-trained volunteers.
To receive an information pack please contact us on:
πŸ“§ Email nelsontasman@cab.org.nz
πŸ“ž Phone 03 548 2117
Training begins in March πŸ’›
