Dear fellow citizens. You would do well to listen to the Westland Mayor talking about the Labour Government's three Waters initiative. It's 16 minutes of solid sense and calm logic and I promise you will NOT be wasting your time.youtu.be...

Are you a teacher or educator who is keen to help your school and your students embrace a culture dedicated to climate action? Does the idea of sustainable behaviour patterns for life appeal to you? Or maybe you’d like to be the person who transformed the way your kura/school or kōhanga/early childhood centre thought about and dealt with waste?

Dear Supporters,
We invite you to join us on Thursday 29th July at the Kapiti Coast District Council meeting, starting at 9.30. in the council chambers. At this meeting the petition asking for the Waikanae recycling centre to be retained will be presented. Now close to 1000 signatures, this is a strong indicator of the depth of feeling regarding the closure within the district. If you haven’t yet signed there is still time to do so. There is a link to the petition on Neighbourly. I will also speak to the council at this meeting, highlighting three key areas of concern. We believe a strong presence in the gallery at this council meeting is needed, to send a message to council that we do not accept this closure. We hope to see you there.
In addition, we will be staging a protest against the closure outside the council building at 10.00 am on Friday 30th July. Please come along, bring a placard and a good strong voice. We hope to have the media there also.
