Mayday Rally for Travel Justice

Elizabeth from Maitai

There is a climate crisis
There is a fuel crisis
This is the tipping point
We want to walk and cycle whenever possible, but its not safe. Cars have grown in size, speed and number.
Many parents are afraid to let their children walk or cycle - adding to the dangerous traffic congestion around school entrances.

What needs to change for us to feel safe?


We need a fairer allocation of space on our streets as we address the climate and fuel crises
Lets Rally for Travel Justice
Sunday May 1 at 1pm gather at the I-site
Walk/Cycle to Church steps for 1.30

Bring details of your 'black spots' and we'll record them on a map at the Church Steps.
We'll take the map to Council asking for the infrastructure changes we need.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
