Funding for Neighbours' Day in March 2017

Malcolm Sparrow from Councillor Malcolm Sparrow - Wellington City Council

Just 10 days to go to apply for funding .....

If you’re thinking about a street barbecue or a similar community event between the end of November 2016 and the end of March 2017, you’re welcome to apply for funding from Wellington City Council. The official dates for Neighbours Day in 2017 are 25-26 March. Some suburbs hold their street get-togethers any time in February or March.

Some groups use the funding for the likes of a bouncy castle for their street barbecue, others for signs to promote their event, etc.

A maximum of $500 can be allocated for each project. You need to apply through a registered organisation or society. If you’re looking for support for your own street party, contact your local residents/community group to act as an ‘umbrella’, or contact Council as soon as possible if you need assistance with finding an umbrella organisation, or message me for advice.

All applications for grant funding must be submitted by Friday 28 October 2016. Details are available at wellington.govt.nz...

The Human Impact of the Flight Path Change - Greg's Story

Plane Sense from Plane Sense

Neighbour - Greg, suffered a traumatic brain injury 20 years ago and has not been able to work since the injury. He battles continuously with hyper-sensitivity to noise and brain fatigue which is hugely affected by noise. He bought a house in the quiet northern suburbs to help him manage these symptoms. The DMAPs flight path change has worsened his condition, which is severe and affects everything he does.

Everyday Wellingtonians - including children, the elderly and vulnerable members of our community, are suffering the effects of the flight path change. Caused by decisions made (and continuing to be made) by Airways New Zealand, Wellington International Airport, Civil Aviation Authority of NZ and Wellington City Council (as shareholder).
