Te Puke, choose your Ride!

Western Bay of Plenty Council

A new cycleway is coming but first we need your help on the design.

The new community designed route connects four schools and the centre of town in one big loop – making it safer for our tamariki and rangatahi to walk, bike and scooter to school.

There are two concept design options for the new cycleway, and we want you to vote for your favourite. Plus you’ll go in the draw to win cool prizes just by taking part!

Check out the plans online and tell us what you think.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.
