RANGIORA SUNDAY MARKET.
After a discussion with the Waimakariri Environmental and Health Officer and, information on the CONVID 19 web site, it is necessary for us to cancel all RANGIORA SUNDAY MARKET days held in the Blake street car park until further notice. We have a lot of visitors to our market from out side the Waimakariri district and other parts of N.Z. Also a number of stall holders are senior citizens and we do not want them getting infected with the virus and the same applies to all visitors to our market.
We will be in touch with all stall holders to advise when the market will be open again for business.
We look forward to seeing you all in the not too distant future with happy smiley faces.
Take good care out there and look after each other.
Arthur Linnell.
Organiser / manager RANGIORA SUNDAY MARKET.
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?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.8% ... It is complicated
