Some of our successes this year - amalgamation with Kington RA; a new and revised Constitution being implemented; getting road markings installed in and around the Brooklyn village to get some better & safer parking practices established; getting a disabled carpark being re-established in the village. As well, in conjunction with local Kowhai Park/west Brooklyn residents (huge acknowledgement to your activism and vocal dissent) and the Brooklyn School we all successfully got the 17e (8.25am) bus rerouted back through the village to drop off primary/intermediate age school children into the Brooklyn village for safe access to school (Metlink had make it an express bus and was going straight into the CBD) rather than the first bus stop that the express would stop at - a crazy place on the very busy Ohiro Rd where there was no pedestrian crossing. Activism and some common sense form Metlink and GWRC making another success.
As well, we (and some local business owners) got the re-establishment of a P15 carpark on Cleveland St to assist businesses & and locals and residents access some of our local businesses services after the implementation of the new bus services / bus stops has created months of traffic disruption, confusion, vehicle snarl ups and a huge impact on both locals and the local businesses. As well, these bus stops have taken a number of car parks out of the Brooklyn village.
A major ongoing issue for GBRAI and the local business community in Brooklyn has been the disorganised and complicated establishment of the Brooklyn Library Bus Hub and the quite negative affect on businesses through - in some instances - a substantial loss of business.
For the public record, we are making public our survey of local businesses and affects of the new bus hub on Brooklyn businesses.

Instead of doing something for herself this New Year (and struggling to keep the resolution), Ingrid is signing up to The Foodbank Project to donate a Small Family Bundle each month because it's a resolution she knows she can keep. Watch Ingrid's video here: www.facebook.com...
