Brooklyn Community Centre - community market Saturday 17 September
Supporting the Brooklyn Community Centre and the next Brooklyn community market (two Saturdays time) on Saturday the 17th September...
Hi Neighbours, our next community market is on this Saturday 17th from 12 - 4pm at the Brooklyn Community Centre in Harrison Street. We have lots of stalls booked, including some exciting new sellers, with something for everyone including jewellery; soy candles; soaps; succulents and plants; African wax print goods; vintage china, glass & clothes; crystals; resin goods; crafts; linen, and much more. Andrew will be on the deck ready to sharpen those knives, gardening tools, scissors, etc., hot soup, toasted sandwiches, and crepes will be on sale in the hall, and Brooklyn School football enthusiasts will be manning the BBQ to fundraise for their trip to the AIMS Games later in the year. So come down and support local while hanging out with neighbours and friends - no vax pass required!
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)
.

Combining biking with bus travel
Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
