Solway Neighbourhood Planning Meeting
Dear Residents
Just a reminder we have a Neighbourhood Plan Meeting this Sunday, we look forward to working with you.
Kind regards Sandy Ryan and Aaron Bacher
DATE: Sunday 6 August
TIME: 2.30pm
VENUE: St James Church Hall, High Street South
We have received a response to your submission to the Masterton District Council annual plan. In response to your submission, Council resolved:
Council will work with Connecting Communities Wairarapa and the Solway Community Group to advocate with Greater Wellington Regional Council for a review of the bus services in the Solway area.
Staff will work with Connecting Communities Wairarapa and the Solway Community Group to prioritise work and future improvements. Please note some budget is available but it is unallocated and needs to be prioritised.
LED lighting will replace the existing street lighting throughout the urban area next year. Any additional lighting needs will be assessed after these are installed.
Council has a regular programme of roading and footpath renewals. We invite you to contact council staff regarding your specific areas of concern so they can be investigated.
the southern entry to Masterton is managed by New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA). Council is working with NZTA to prioritise the installation of roundabouts and southern entry improvements. Please note the Council does not have authority to change speed zones at the moment given NZTA is currently consulting on speed zones.
Further carparks are being developed at Solway Station by the Greater Wellington Regional Council
Staff will investigate the drain at William Donald Drive and develop options for safety improvements at the site
Copies of the annual plan are available on the Council website www.mstn.govt.nz...
Please attend and participate at our next meeting on Sunday 6 August at 2.30pm. We need to develop an action plan identifying the priorities for the next twelve months.
Light afternoon tea provided.
Sandy Ryan on behalf of the
Solway Neighbourhood Planning Group
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
Share your Christmas mishaps below!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
