Local CHCH Community Group meetings
Dear Local Residents' Associations and Community Groups in CHCH,
I would like to invite you to 2 local community meetings coming up in April and May.
Firstly, I am pleased to invite you to a 'SCRAM' (South Chch Residents Association meet up) event on Thursday, 11th April at the Beckenham Service Centre Boardroom from 10 am to 12 pm.
During this first event, we will have the opportunity to suggest any topics that concern your group as a whole for an open discussion. (This event has conveniently been scheduled after two other community-based meetings, including one with Mayor Phil Mauger and the Waitaha Community Led Development.)
We hope this SCRAM event will be beneficial for the Long-Term Plan consultation processes for CCC and ECAN and generally help our community groups to stay better connected, especially if required for emergency preparedness purposes.
Secondly, SCERT (Somerfield Community Emergency Response Team) have organised a meeting in May, we would also like to invite you or your community group to our SCERT public information event, to be held on Thursday, 30th May, from 7-9 pm.
SCERT welcomes any residents or new groups in any area to join us for this also, so you may independently promote your community group in St Mark's Hall, 5 Somerfield Street.
Please refer to the posters attached for more information on either event.
If you would like to attend or share either /any of these events with other local community groups, please message me or join our event page(s).
Best regards,
Julie Tobbell.
Somerfield Residents Association Chairperson.
Cell 027 272 1063. (text first please)
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.8% ... It is complicated
A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜
Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post if you know the answer and the big reveal will be posted in the comments at 2pm on the day!
If you multiply this number by any other number, the answer will always be the same. What number is this?
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.7% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.1% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.2% Against. I want to deal with people.
