New Playground being planned for Raumanga Whangarei
I will be asking for a wheelchair swing, a wheelchair-accessible carousel, oblong-shaped inground trampolines accessible for wheelchair users, sensory play equipment.
And we will do our research to find the products, and put project managers in contact with suppliers.
This is called being proactive. Children With Disability NZ, on FB and the net under CWD Northland.
Let's first make Northland the most disabled child-friendly place in New Zealand and let us roll the concept New Zealand-wide.
Our charity Children with Disability NZ members meet with some local business people at the new park site in Waipu on Saturday.
Our charity is part-funding a wheelchair swing for that site, all agreed with WDC we expect to reach our funding target of $10,000 in the coming days.
I have also successfully lobbied for facilities at Pohe Island. Onwards and upwards

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
