Te Atatu Food Truck Fridays - October 4th 4:30pm-8:30pm
Some logistics for tomorrow’s Te Atatu Food Truck Friday’s for some who will be joining us for the first time. We are at 247 Edmonton Road behind the St Johns ambulance station. There are 60 carparks in the Te Atatu South Community Centre carpark available. There is also a huge grass area available to park in behind the St Johns hall (entry at the bottom of the carpark). Mind the kerb up to grass area. If parking in this area, avoid any areas roped off. Walking or biking up always ensures you get VIP parking. Plenty of seating is available in our courtyard area, in our community centre hub or picnic in the park. There will be music, kids playzone, free facepainting and a bouncy castle. Dress for the weather, stay around and enjoy the vibes. We are running now to 8:30pm so no need to be afraid of a little darkness. More time to fill your tums. See you tomorrow 4:30pm – 8:30pm at your own food fest in your backyard 🍔🌮🌭. More details on our Facebook page www.facebook.com.... Be sure to like and follow the page.
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?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
