Your Local MP for Banks Peninsula<br />
Tracey<br />
McLellan<br />
It seems a world away from the calm streets communities together.<br />
of Banks Peninsula, but no doubt you all Nationally, reducing the cost of living<br />
share the concern of everyone in New<br />
continues to be a key priority of the Labour<br />
Zealand following the recent cyclone and<br />
Government, which is why we’ve extended<br />
flood damage in the North Island. An all-ofvarious<br />
support measures which benefitted<br />
Government response has been underway<br />
the overwhelming majority of New<br />
since the cyclone made landfall and we<br />
have established the new Cyclone Gabrielle<br />
Zealanders last year. The 25 cents per litre<br />
Appeal Fund. This will complement existing<br />
petrol excise duty cut, the Road User Charge<br />
donation appeals and help to ensure that discount and half price public transport fares<br />
local and international donations are will all remain until 30 June <strong>2023</strong>.<br />
channelled back to the communities and I have plenty of community clinics<br />
projects that need them the most. This scheduled for <strong>2023</strong> across the electorate,<br />
includes medium to long term recovery including those at the Te Hāpua Halswell<br />
projects that help to build resilience for the Centre on Saturday 1 April at 10am, Pioneer<br />
future, as well as fixing the facilities where Leisure Centre on Saturday 1 April at 12pm<br />
people come together, like sports clubs and<br />
for Westmorland and Hoon Hay residents,<br />
community halls.<br />
Somerfield Community Centre on Saturday<br />
The natural disasters were in stark contrast 15 April at 10am and St Martins Community<br />
to the wonderful summer we’ve had here Centre on Monday 17 April at 1pm. If<br />
in Banks Peninsula. Highlights of recent<br />
you’re local to these areas I encourage you<br />
months include attending A&P shows to<br />
to stop by, have a chat and discuss any issues<br />
support our rural sector and visiting the<br />
important to you.<br />
various jubilees, fairs, fetes and markets<br />
spread through our suburbs. Perhaps most It’s been a busy start to the year and I’m<br />
rewarding though was connecting with a looking forward to working constructively<br />
wide variety of constituents, community with all our communities and ensuring that<br />
leaders and organisations and selfless our little slice of paradise remains just that. I<br />
volunteers who are the glue that hold our hope you all have a wonderful autumn!<br />
