The Brooklyn Community Market is on this Saturday 15 June from 12pm to 4pm at the Brooklyn Community Centre on Harrison Street, just along from the Brooklyn Library. Catch up with friends and neighbours while browsing through a wide variety of stalls. Everything from homemade pickles, preserves and chutneys, to fresh produce, crafts, jewellery, art, soaps, eco products, candles, cards, ceramics and lots more. Delicious food available from the kitchen including homemade pies, toasted sandwiches and sweet treats. Plus coffee, tea, juices and a sausage sizzle on the deck. Andrew our popular knife sharpener will be onsite sharpening knifes, scissors and gardening tools. The market runs rain or shine. Everybody welcome.

24.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... It is complicated
