Work for the disabled Northland

Glen from Central Whangarei

I was hoping to be able to bring my wheelchair to the Orchard tomorrow 6th May I want to get the hot desking underway I have major disabilities so may need some help and some flexibility from the Orchard.
Just to refresh I run a business Website Design Whangarei. I do not get enough work. I have airway and voice issues so may be puffed and not speak well when answering the phone at home, this makes it hard to get customers.
I am hoping hot-desking at the Orchard and the chance to market with like minded people will give me the opportunity to progress.

I am doing the pick at the Orchard 8 weeks in I have not missed a class. I am putting in the effort.

I am very involved at community level currently Chairman of DPA Northland and Co-Chair of WDC disability advisory group.

Also looking forward to seeing what's happening in The Strand in the CBD with CTN

Poll: Is the increase in disability parking fines fair?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In October, the fine for parking in a designated mobility car park without a permit has jumped from $150 to $750—a 400% increase!

The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.
