New Playground being planned for Raumanga Whangarei
I will be asking for a wheelchair swing, a wheelchair-accessible carousel, oblong-shaped inground trampolines accessible for wheelchair users, sensory play equipment.
And we will do our research to find the products, and put project managers in contact with suppliers.
This is called being proactive. Children With Disability NZ, on FB and the net under CWD Northland.
Let's first make Northland the most disabled child-friendly place in New Zealand and let us roll the concept New Zealand-wide.
Our charity Children with Disability NZ members meet with some local business people at the new park site in Waipu on Saturday.
Our charity is part-funding a wheelchair swing for that site, all agreed with WDC we expect to reach our funding target of $10,000 in the coming days.
I have also successfully lobbied for facilities at Pohe Island. Onwards and upwards

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
