HALSWELL CONNECTIONS
 At our March meeting our speakers were Ross and John from the Halswell Residents Association. HRA has been around for 26 years in which time they have had 2 chairmen and 3 secretaries. The group was formed originally around discussions regarding the swimming pool and land from the domain and has spent the last 26 years fighting for the community on issues like keeping 13 hectares of the Halswell Domain, the No 7 bus route past the hospital and protecting the historical farm buildings at Aidanfield.
Some of the issues currently facing Halswell as a community that HRA are working on include the ongoing growth, with 6750 sections left to be developed, traffic, bus routes and the CCC and ECAN long term plans.
HRA meet on the last Monday of each month at St Mary's Church - their next meeting is at 7pm on 28th March and all residents are welcome.
At each meeting local groups and representatives also share their activities and upcoming activities. You can read more about these groups as well as read the full notes from the meeting on our website and blog
Next Meeting or Halswell Connections:
Tuesday 13th April - 12.30 - 1.30pm
Halswell Community Hub, 381 Halswell Road
Speakers - Sam Holland (Community Recreation Advisor) and Emma Pavey (Community Development Advisor)

HALSWELL COMMUNITY MARKET
The weather and Covid haven't been kind over the last year but we will be back on May 23rd with a fabulous community day out at the market. Save the date and if you're interested in being a stallholder please email Keri at communitymarket.halswell@gmail.com - We have the most amazing venue at St John of God, the only downfall is that we cannot operate the market in level 2 due to it being in the grounds of a working hospital. The market will run quarterly for 2021 and looking to return to monthly for 2022.
