Te taunga wakarererangi ki Poneke...WLGN AIRPORT(p.m deetz)
Tēnā koutou e te whānau,
Are we all aware of the newly released development plans for Wellington Airport, their $1b+ plan to allow for yet more pollution of our air, waterways, radio frequencies and whenua...land....as WE are still being bombarded by AIRPORT PARK IN OUR DRIVEWAYS & RUN Wellington Airport customers...my awesome neighbours and I share the same view, if you can pay to travel overseas, surely you can pay for safe parking at the AIRPORT...funny that they have so much land & have purchased the back end of the Miramar Golf Course to build yet more concrete jungle parking for their customers whilst we have so many homeless or struggling to make ends meet now living & begging on our streets here (Roxy, Matua Bun our local businesses & Kilbirnie aswell Countdown)What are WE going to do about this as LOCAL CITIZENS & RESIDENTS OF OUR COMMUNITY, as parents, grandparents, Aunties, uncles, cousins who are guardians of our future leaders? What action are WE going to take...Miramar Eco Society, Motu Kairangi Takiwā...any suggestions are more than welcome. Our voices and action combined together will make a huge impact, so let’s do something rather than sit back and do nothing...Ki te hoe e te hāpori...Lets Do this Motu Kairangi and our surrounding communities...Miramar Community House, Community minded and wellbeing...I will be in touch again shortly as I am hoping that our community will be able to utilise our Community House as a point of contact and base...all those who live outside of our effected communities please have a heart, put yourselves in our shoes, our kids and grandchildren who will suffer now & into the future from the ripple effect just as much, if not more than us adults(the cause of the effect)please if you contribute by way of commenting, please ensure that we stay on track and suggest only achievable and do-able actions...The time is nigh 💜🔥💜👆🏼💜🌊I
