Pyjama Drive for Winter
Last year the Franklin community pulled together to donate dozens of pairs of pyjamas to kids identified by their schools as being in need.
CAN WE MANAGE IT AGAIN THIS YEAR?
Working with Middlemore Foundation our goal is to get a new pair of pyjamas to each child before the cold weather arrives and colds and other winter ills increase. This project has a few local community trusts working together for the good of our children. Pyjamas can be left at the Pukekohe Anglican Church, 37 Queen St, or TopNotch Engraving at 28 King St, Pukekohe. We hope to add more drop-off points over the next week. We can provide a dedicated bank account number for this project if you'd prefer to make a donation instead of buying the pyjamas yourself. For more details contact Jan on 0274-521-366
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!
-
25.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated

If you multiply this number by any other number, the answer will always be the same. What number is this?
Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
