Wainuiomata Mall Night Market!!
You read right! This Friday at the Wainui mall from 4pm-8pm is a locally run market. Hopefully people will spread the word and come and check it out, support the local crafters and hopefully it will be able to be an ongoing event.
Home preserves, Homemade greeting cards, soaps, designer table napkins to use as table center piece, scented candles, kiwi crafts canvas board photos, chocolate, fudge, liquorice and nougat, hand made belgium chocolates, scentsy, picture fantasy, jewellery, kawakawa natural products, macrame, crystals, spray art, finger art, clothes and bric a brac, toys, and lots of other crafts.
So something for everyone ... lots of parking ... get your weekly shop at countdown ... treat the family to McDonalds maybe. But lets try to bring our mall back to life ... even if its the last time the market is able to be run. May even have a lil music to keep us warm!!
SPREAD THE WORD PLEASE!!!!
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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
