23/02/19: Car parking spaces in Brooklyn village

Carl from Brooklyn Residents Association Incorporated

Hello

Another parking "win" for Brooklyn businesses and residents, after so many car parks were removed due to the Brooklyn Bus Hub. WCC were going to designate these two spaces on Jefferson St, Brooklyn as "Residents Parking" only with no public consultation. We understand some locals were pressing for these on the back of other "Residents Only" car parks being removed due to the Cleveland St bus stops.

GBRAI, acting on feedback from Brooklyn businesses & other local residents, successfully got WCC to change this to P30 from Monday to Saturday 8am to 6pm. That way they become usable for clients of Wing on Chan, Jo's Bakery, Khana Kazana, Loundes Electrical & Brooklyn library users.

Our thanks to locals - you know who you are - and to WCC for the compromise.

GBRAI Sec

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
