Further to my previous post on being Homeless in Kapiti
Further to my previous posts on being Homeless in Kapiti a core group has been set up to discuss and work with what and how we can achieve this dilemma and having its voice heard. I had asked that others share their stories and experiences so a Facebook group has been started for these to be shared on. First you will need to request to join the group and answer three questions before admin will accept you in. This is done to keep the members safe and have their privacy kept. Once in the group it is asked that you read the Mission Statement, Privacy and Guidelines before any posts are made. There is the option of making an anonymous post to share your story or to post and admin will review it before accepting it. That is to keep out any abusive, nasty, bullying posts and comments. Members and posts cannot be seen by non-members to protect your privacy. If you are interested in pulling together with other interested Kapiti people to house and reduce the homeless numbers please feel free to join at the following link. If you have any questions before committing to joining please feel free to ask in the comments

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
