The impact of raising energy costs is not going to go away. Creating an energy focus group within Grey Lynn 2030 will provide a space to discuss ideas, learn from experts, create and implement projects, be proactive and inspire our community to join in.

NZ Post are planning on downgrading the Grey Lynn Post Office to a Post centre only. This means no more banking facilities and the loss of staff.

Symonds Street Post Office is going to be closed

These plans will have a big impact on local businesses and residents especially the elderly. We think our busy Post Office provides essential services and adds to the vibrancy of our community.

Let NZ Post know your views on these plans. Help save our Post Office

Attend the Public Meeting

Wednesday 8 June at 7pm, Grey Lynn Community Centre

Hosted by Grey Lynn 2030 and the Grey Lynn Business Association

May Green Screen - A Crude Awakening
Community Noticeboard

To receive the full community newsletter with the monthly calendar of events please email greylynn2030@gmail.com

An unforgettable and shocking wake-up call, A Crude Awakening shows us that the era of cheap oil is in the past. This film drills deep into the uncomfortable realities of a world that is both addicted to fossil fuels and blissfully unaware of the looming “peak oil” crisis.  Drawing on an international cast of energy experts and thinkers, A Crude Awakening debunks the conventional wisdom that oil production will continue to climb, and instead stares bleakly at a planet facing economic meltdown and conflict over its most valuable resource.

New Trading Table this Sunday

This week the Grey Lynn Farmers Market will launch our first produce trading table.  Apart form the market manager putting up the table, this stall will be run by you!  Your very own road-side stall.

So bag, tag and sell your own produce.  The trading table is free to “friends of the market” (who pay an annual $30 sub) or $3 for casual users.  You can sell your homegrown veggies or fruit yourself at the table or swap your goods with other sellers! Encourage the children to play shopkeeper and make some pocket money!  Anything left on the table will be given away at the end of the market.

The trading table will be held under the Grey Lynn 2030 banner this week.  Any questions, call Charlotte on 027 3756143 or email glfarmersmarket@gmail.com
