What next for our Shared Paths network?

The Team from Whangarei District Council

Come and see us this Saturday (29 April 2023) at the Whangārei Growers Market or Canopy Bridge to give your suggestions on improving walking and cycling.

Or join the 200+ people who have pinned comments all over the online map of feedback: www.wdc.govt.nz...

This isn’t just limited to walkers and cyclists – we also want to hear from walkers with pushchairs, and people who use wheelchairs, mobility scooters, skateboards, skates, scooters and e-scooters! But we're especially keen to hear from people who would use walking and cycling paths in Tikipunga.

We’d love to hear from young people and school students too, so if you know any then please encourage them to give their feedback.

We’ll be at the growers' markets from 7.30am to 9:00am and at the Canopy Bridge from 10:00am to 11.30am to hear your views. We’ll also be at the Tikipunga Markets on Sunday from 7.30am to 9.30am.

Submissions close on 12 May 2023.

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?

Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post and we'll post the answer in the comments below at 2pm on the day!

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
