Food Rescue Northland Whakaora Kai Taitokerau
Kia ora Whangarei (WANTING)
We are Food Rescue Northland, what we do is we rescue any food that is not good enough to sell due to dents in cans, veges are not pretty etc and we collect these to give back to our community agencies who provide food to individuals and families that are need of food. We also accept any food donated from individuals that may have an overflow of vegetables or fruits, or goods that are not being used in the pantry. We rescue food before it hits the landfill or pig farms. If you have any food you would like to donate we have two drop off areas, Whare Awhina Community Trust House, 155 Kamo Road, Kensington or the Food Rescue Warehouse, 1 Woods Road, Whangarei (The carpark of the old Chipmunks). We can also pick up. If you have a fruit tree with excess fruit we are happy to pick these and take away.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.4% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.6% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Rubbish dumping
Can whoever is dumping their rubbish down the bank on Memorial Drive please stop. The Pack and Save bags for life that you're using are probably just as expensive as the council rubbish bags that you can also buy at Pack and Save.
