Petone kids could miss out on Christmas
Father Christmas might not make it to Petone, as coronavirus threatens to claim another victim.
The Jackson Street Programme organises a range of Christmas events for children from throughout the region but this year it is facing a big funding shortfall.
JSP co-ordinator Hellen Swales said although retailing has bounced back since the lockdown, money is still tight, and the group needs to raise $30,000.
Swales is aware many families are struggling, and said it would be a shame if the free public events organised by the JSP did not happen.
The Petone Twilight Christmas Parade is scheduled for Friday, November 27, starting at 7pm.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
