Sanson's Community Market
The whisperers, and those behind tall fences, are saying the Iconic Sanson Market is to close soon into 2019.
Well, I'm here to dispell these rumours and let you know we are alive and doing very well thank you much...and we will continue to be here for as long as humanly possible. The site has been purchased by an Auckland investor and his family and have no immediate plans to do anything with the Junction site (this being the corner of State Highways 1 & 3) so we will continue to be available to the stallholders and public alike for as long as we have the lease from him, and that which has been made available to us, for the use of the Motels gravel car parking area as well.
If...and it's a big IF, we ever have to move, we will continue to hold the Market on Sundays, it will just be from an alternative location.

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% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15% ... It is complicated
