Introducing myself

Shirish Paranjape from

Hi neighbour
Neighbourly has very kindly (and efficiently) set up this profile for me to provide a 2-way connection with the community which has elected me.
This is my first post as the Board member of Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood community board. (FWH ward).

Let me share the events which have happened from the time the local election results were announced.

We have had a few sessions of training at the City Council buildings. The first one was attended by all elected representatives from Christchurch, while the second one included district councillors from outside Christchurch – from as far south as Waimate, and as far north as Hurunui.

In a separate session, all the councillors and community board members of FWH ward were “sworn in” and declarations signed with and in presence of the Hon. Mayor of Christchurch.

We – particularly the newbies – also got introduced to the City Council staff who support the FWH community board. These staff members use the Fendalton Service Centre as their office. This is also the location where the community board meetings are held, currently at 4 pm on Monday evenings, twice a month. Most of these meetings are open to members of public.

Our first “real” – if I can use the word – meeting is on Monday 14 November 2016. I have received a 72 page agenda – in electronic format. This is available on-line through the link below.

I plan to keep you posted on items of interest from the meeting on Monday (and beyond). Have a nice weekend.
