Do you want traffic speeds near schools, marae, and other community facilities reduced to make the streets safer for pedestrians and for all road users?
Then submit by Monday 12 December on NZTA / Waka Kotahi's Interim State Highway Speed Management Plan (ISMP).
Age Concern Wellington received their Golden Foot Walking Award recently in recognition of a service that meets a significant community need. The Companion Walking Service matches trained volunteers with older people who are experiencing reduced mobility, mild cognitive impairment or a need for companionship, often after an operation or a fall.
We are looking forward to our national day to celebrate walking - once again to be held on the second Wednesday in March 2023.
Where - all over Aotearoa New Zealand
This year Walk2Work Day follows the New Zealand Census day so we are focussing on Walking Counts. Share how far, how many steps, how high or low, how everyday or unique your walk is on 8 March.
