World Car-Free Day on Friday 22 September
What are you doing for World Car-Free Day on Friday, 22 September?
Are you stuck for ideas? Maybe you could do a walking bus, a bicycle train or a scooter trail to school with a group and see how many people you can get to join. Dress up your shoes or decorate your bike or scooter for the special occasion. You could even get your kura to hold a wheel’s day.
Take a picture, draw us your design, or write a story about how you got to and from school and work using your bike, scooter or walking, email it to iway@hdc.govt.nz and you go in the draw to win one of our awesome prizes.
Let’s leave the car at home and support cleaner, greener, healthier communities. #worldcarfreeday2023

Crematorium in Havelock North
Crematorium in Havelock North meeting to be held for Havelock North Friends and Neighbours, Monday 14th
April 2025, at 2pm. Place Civic Administration room, floor 0, Hastings District Council offices.

Will be present at the meeting
Are you concerned about this and if so, you are invited to
attend a meeting with the department who consented on
this new Crematorium. As residents and ratepayers, we
feel we were never given the opportunity to speak up
about this major decision so now is your chance.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT.
Do not let our beautiful village be ruined of its uniqueness
forever by a bad decision made on our behalf. A more
appropriate decision would be to have it out of a residential area or with appropriate car parking and a place for mourners to congregate.
