World Car-Free Day on Friday 22 September

Communications from Hastings District Council

What are you doing for World Car-Free Day on Friday, 22 September?

Are you stuck for ideas? Maybe you could do a walking bus, a bicycle train or a scooter trail to school with a group and see how many people you can get to join. Dress up your shoes or decorate your bike or scooter for the special occasion. You could even get your kura to hold a wheel’s day.

Take a picture, draw us your design, or write a story about how you got to and from school and work using your bike, scooter or walking, email it to iway@hdc.govt.nz and you go in the draw to win one of our awesome prizes.

Let’s leave the car at home and support cleaner, greener, healthier communities. #worldcarfreeday2023
