Mahora community hui - Tuesday 11 July
Kia ora koutou,
Thank you so much to those who attended our community hui on 7 June.
It was a positive forum to discuss some of the issues that concerned you and how we can make our neighbourhoods accessible for everyone. Taking everyone’s thoughts and opinions on board, we have designed specific solutions based on your and the surveyed community’s feedback.
These plans propose to slow vehicles down to create more accessible, people-friendly neighbourhoods that support active transport. So, people can walk, scooter, and bike without any barriers.
We would love to share our street-calming designs with you and will be holding a hui on Tuesday 11 July from 5.30pm at Te Mākaramū (The Meeting Room) at Cornwall Park for the Mahora Community.
We hope to see you there.
The Heretaunga Arakura (Pathways to School) team.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
