Tuesday 27th September - Local Election candidates meeting

Carl from Brooklyn Residents Association Incorporated

Hello,

We remind you to "book in" Tuesday the 27th of September for the GBRAI Local Body Candidates meeting at the Brooklyn Community Centre. We will have (hopefully) a full slate of candidates for:

# the two seats for the Southern Ward / Paekawakawa
# Mayor
# Greater Wellington Regional Council

We strongly encourage your attendance to observe, question and listen to those standing again and those standing to take a seat at council.
As well, I have attached a list from WCC website of other candidates meeting around the city (as at 12/08/2022):

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.
