Only 1 day until the ballot papers start arriving in the letter boxes and 24 days until ‘D’ day decision day on 09th October.
Wow! Voting papers are out tomorrow!
Sarah and I had another great day door knocking and meeting
folk. We started the day at St Lukes Shopping Centre. We met a couple of very ‘informed’ Pt Chev residents. They follow the political scene quite closely at both local and central levels. They were very engaging and Sarah and I appreciated spending a few minutes with them.We travelled to a part of Mt Albert that has not one but three iconic features. Chamberlain Park Golf Course, the old St Helens Hospital now a AIS St Helens Tertiary Institution and the
Charlotte Museum. Chamberlain Park has been reduced in size the North Western Motorway slicing through the middle of it. It’s now an 18 hole course, it’s a public course and so has very low fees. The old St Helens hospital moved to Linwood Ave in 1968 from Pitt and Hopetoun Streets. It closed 
in 1990 and turned into a Tertiary facility. The Charlotte Museum moved to Linwood last year from Surrey Cres Grey Lynn. It houses the NZ’s Lesbian History and this weekend the Lesbian Newsletter celebrates its 20th birthday.The street runs from St Lukes Road to Rossgrove. It’s the area North East of the Mt Albert shopping centre.
As mentioned earlier, tomorrow the voting papers are posted out. I’m looking forward to it. It’s an exciting time and I feel privileged to be part of this historical occasion. Nga mihi ki a koutou katoa.
