Let me ask you a question
The Papamoa Resident and Ratepayers Assn wants to find out what Papamoa residents regard as important in their community. To achieve this end, PRRA is conducting an online survey of residents' opinions about local facilities and services. For example, do we need more recreation areas and amenities, are our streets serving their purpose? And, your thoughts on the council's idea about spending nearly half a billion dollars of ratepayers' money on a CBD civic centre.
To take part in the survey, Google papamoaresidents.co.nz and go to the survey link.
PRRA can't advocate for you if it doesn't know what you want.
Come along to PRRA's next monthly meeting. It will take place this coming Monday the 13th of June at 7pm at the Legacy Gardens Chapel, 53 Te Okuroa Drive. (Who knows, you might win the raffle!)

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
