Whangarei City a No-Go Zone

The elderly and disabled people are finding it hard to get around in Whangarei’s CBD, and it’s not the lack of disabled parking that is causing the most concern, according to Mayoral candidate Vince Cocurullo.

Accessible, Safe and Vibrant Whangarei

Whangarei residents don’t feel safe in CBD at night.  This is the response after Mayoral Candidate Vince Cocurullo posed the question “Do you feel safe going into the CBD at Night in Whangarei?” last month on Facebook.

Another amazing event is being held at Forum North in Whangarei on the 25th of August.

This is a community group that is raising funds for Canteen, a project that helps those between the ages of 13 and 24 who are diagnosed with Cancer.

It is not always fair to be put into a situation, where you are young and have to deal with such an issue.  Canteen is an amazing group of people New Zealand wide, and together we can help those in Whangarei and give them hope.

Multi-pronged approach to transport needed for Whangarei

With costly and unreliable flights, failing roading networks and the complete absence of an effective rail link, Northland faces a high possibility of being cut off from the rest of New Zealand unless something is done now to address this.

Have you seen the movie HEAT yet with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.

Local businessman and community supporter Vince Cocurullo is standing for Mayor of Whangarei.  Why? Because he believes that positive change is needed.

“For too long the Whangarei Council has done the same things over and over and unsurprisingly, have got the same results; it is time to put the people of Whangarei First” says Vince.
