Keep up the good work, Auckland.

Aucklanders have been making a strong effort to use less water and we want to thank you. Yesterday, Auckland’s water consumption was 397 million litres - that's 3 million litres under the target of 400 million litres or less!

We have increased capacity, we are still producing significantly less water than normal, so we need everyone to keep up the good work.

We are currently asking people to ‘Save20’ through voluntary water savings. This is about finding simple ways to reduce water use by 20 litres a day – such as taking shorter showers, turning off taps when brushing teeth or shaving and avoiding watering gardens and washing cars.

You can find out the latest about Auckland’s water supply situation, as well as more tips to help you reduce water use, at www.watercare.co.nz... or click the link below.

Under the Stars - Homeless in Tauranga
We are a Charitable Trust feeding the homeless and needy. We supply hygiene necessities, blankets, and clothing for those in need. We are also fortunate to have a hairdresser occasionally on site who gives her services for free. Recently we have begun to hold a drop in afternoon every second Thursday, giving people the opportunity to have a light lunch and a chance to chat. We are hoping to develop this afternoon more by offering a variety of creative arts. The volunteers that commit time and energy towards our meals do so mostly out of their own funds.

Proposed youth centre for Keith Street Wanganui central district
I propose the opening and running of a youth centre based in Keith street or Wanganui cbd. The benefits of having a youth centre in the community will bring together the younger and older generations, so we can learn from each others mistakes and experiences to enhance each other’s lives. We have a mixture of people from different cultures in our society in such a small radius that sometimes we forget about those who really are struggling with life, and they are the most vulnerable people in our society. I want to change that for the better, and help those people that are struggling to survive on the basic benefit or wages. VOTE NOW!
