Quote of the week 

“Water view wants a tunnel.

Onehunga wants a water view”.

 

Photo shoot

Many thanks to the more than 100 people who turned up at Onehunga Bay Reserve for the photo shoot .

We know there were number of people who would like to have been there but could not make it for one reason or another- over 100 people turning up on a winters day is a clear demonstration of support for TOES and our goals.

 

Petition Closing Soon

We expect to present the petition to Parliament requesting restoration of Onehunga Bay on Saturday 2nd August, so please return any signed petition forms you may still hold to the address specified on the form by Wednesday 30th July. At this stage there are over 2,500 signatures. The formal handing over will be at the TOES shop in Onehunga. For those interested in attending we will advise further details in due course.
