RANGIORA SUNDAY MARKET.
Today, 19th August, the RANGIORA SUNDAY MARKET was a great success due to the wide variety of stalls and product on sale. PLUS the great sunny day to boot. A big thank you to the weather gods. It has been estimated that we may have had between 500 to 800 visitors to the market. Stall holders have told me that they were pleased with the sales that they had made. In asking visitors what they thought of the market the replies were all positive. However there were some suggestions that we need to have some more food stalls including fresh produce. There was also suggestions about a coffee vendor, well there are places very close by for coffee etc, the closest being FOOLS OF DESIRE who are great supporters of the market, as a result we will not be having a coffee vendor at the market. We have survey forms handed back from the stall holders with a very positive response. During the next market we will have survey forms for visitors to fill in. We now have full resource consent form council for the next 2 years. This comes with a few rules that we must abide by. We also have a list of fixed dates for the market for the next 12 months. We appreciate any good positive comments / suggestions. We want the market to be a happy friendly place for all stall holders as well as visitors. Re music at the market. We must keep the noise levels down. We would welcome baskers to be part of the market, BUT, no portable sound system. We do not have a power source and we will not allow any portable generators, this being one of the conditions to comply with the resource consent. It was pleasing to note that those who had dogs at the market were all on leads, THANK YOU.
The next market day will be on the 16th September.
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?
-
58.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.8% ... It is complicated
