We’re adjusting our electorate boundaries for the next two general elections.

By making sure each electorate has about the same number of people, we can give all New Zealanders equal representation in Parliament. It’s all balance.
If we move one of your electorate boundaries, you could end up in a different electorate to the one you’re in now – so we show you what we’re proposing before we make any changes and give you the opportunity to share your thoughts.

- Do you like planning your life to achieve goals?
- Doing a plan for the 2020s?
- I am, and will be glad to meet to compare ideas if you are. It can be good to have different perspectives from one or two others.
- If not sure how to, there's various ways. There's an easy template from Edward de Bono that I've used for years. Usually I achieve about 80% of the plans. Some fail, but I also swap some plans for better things.

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 :)

Morning neighbours,

A collection of Palmerston North's primary and public health services will reopen on Broadway next week at the refitted and extended former Returned and Services' Association premises.

Staff based at Health on Main employed by the primary health organisation Think Hauora, Te Tihi o Ruahine Whānau Ora Alliance and the Manawatū Horowhenua Tararua Diabetes Trust are on the move.
They will be joined by MidCentral's public health and child health services.

Do you think this move will be convenient for people accessing these services? Or are you concerned Broadway is already too busy as it is?

Parking Ticket

More unusual is that I got it for not putting up my Mobility Card when in a Mobility Park at Countdown Ranagitiki Supermarket. Yes I do have a Card and the mobility issue that says I can use these parks and am sure that as usual I put it up when I left my car. Strangely until today was unaware that Wilson Parking was monitoring these parks. How do I prove that it was up when they say it wasn't and I didn't find the ticket till I got home? For others, first off be aware someone is watching (Wilson staff) and you may get a ticket if you park in Supermarket Carpark Parks for obviously a variety of reasons.
