Vision Kāpiti - Have your say on education

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

With kids heading back to school this week we thought it's a good time to ask your thoughts on education in Kāpiti – what could be improved? Share your vision for Kāpiti and have your say online now 👉🏼haveyoursay.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

We want to make sure everyone in Kāpiti can access a range of education services to help them to pursue fulfilling careers. We also need to make sure they’re the right type of education services so we can encourage rangatahi (young people) to study here and then stay on to work locally. ✏️🎓📚

We’re already exploring options for an education hub to help students find pathways to employment right here in Kāpiti – and we’d like to hear what you think Kāpiti needs now and for the future.

Visit haveyoursay.kapiticoast.govt.nz... to share your ideas and aspirations! Your feedback will help to inform a districtwide vision to enable a sustainable future and guide Council planning now, and over the next couple of decades.

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?

Marie from Waikanae

If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.

We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
