Census support for the over 50s
SeniorNet New Plymouth through the Federation of NZ SeniorNet Societies has a short term partnership with Statistics NZ to assist people over the aged of 50 to complete their census forms.
To complete this partnership in New Plymouth we will be available at the Senior Citizens rooms at 27 -29 Liardet Street New Plymouth from
• from 10 am to 3 pm Saturday 3rd March to Tuesday 6th March
• from 10 am -12md on Wednesday 7th March
Anyone over the age of 50 can come in for assistance in completing their census forms.
Our volunteers can help people over the age of 50 to:-
• Assist people to complete their forms online using our laptops.
• Assist people to use their own laptops or hand held devices to complete the forms on line.
• Assist people to complete the paper if they have already obtained them
People must bring their household census number that they should have received in the mail and know the names and dates of birth of all persons who will be in the house on census night.
We will be using the Senior Citizens Rooms on the ground floor below our Learning Centre to ensure easy access for everybody.
There are 2 disability car parks outside the door.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
41.1% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.2% No, I enjoy it
-
1.8% Other - I'll share below
Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
