Only three more sleeps!
The Helensville Christmas Market is to be held Saturday 14th December from 9 to 2 pm at the Helensville Hall. The Hall is on the main street behind the Library and beside the RSA.
There’s plenty of parking at the back of the hall. The Market is primarily a community event where local people come to sell second hand goods, arts and crafts and homemade produce, antiques and collectibles, bric a brac / homemade gift ware. For the Christmas Market, we’ve got heaps of new sellers that are offering some fantastic Christmas gift ideas.
Community groups will be invited to come along and participate to fund raise and also have a presence if they wish to advertise and promote their clubs or charities/organizations.

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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
80.6% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.4% No. This would be impossible in practice.
