Ashhurst Christmas Market & Parade this Saturday!

Jo from Ashhurst - Pohangina

Hi Neighbours,
Just to let you all know that this Saturday (14th) is the Ashhurst Christmas Market, Parade & Church Fair.
This is a really cool day when pretty much the whole village comes out to celebrate :) The parade is at 10am, the market runs from 10-1, with loads of stalls selling everything from food and drinks to plants to handmade local crafts & jewellery, spread between the Village Valley Centre car park & the village green. Santa will be at the library after the parade. Plus the St Mary's church fair will be starting at 9 (on Cambridge Ave, next to the VVC), with clothes, home baking & bargains for everyone.
Bring cash (most stalls don't have eftpos available) & get all your Christmas shopping done in one trip!
Everyone's welcome - see you there :)

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
