Waitohi Community Hub to close over Easter

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Waitohi Community Hub in Johnsonville will be closed to the public over the long Easter weekend for significant maintenance and resealing work.
The closure includes Common Ground Café, Johnsonville Library and Keith Spry Pool. The Johnsonville Community Centre will remain open except on the statutory holidays – Good Friday and Easter Monday.
“We are doing this over Easter as most parts of Waitohi were closing on the statutory Easter holidays. Otherwise we would have needed to shut down the Hub for four consecutive days later in the year,” says Laurinda Thomas, Libraries and Community Spaces Manager.

While Waitohi will be quieter, please take care travelling on Johnsonville roads which will be busier due to a traffic detour. Contractors will be carrying out tree-felling across the State Highway network, which will require traffic to be detoured through Johnsonville at times over the Easter break.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
