We recently had water tank issues meaning we had no source of clean water to bathe in for several weeks. The options were ' shower at an off springs house - Seeing granny unclothed could traumatise the children, pay $7.10 at the pool, going into one of the family changing rooms when apparently foot fungal infections are easily picked up - or pay $3.40 at Wachner Place for 5 minutes- if you could get a park nearby. We opted for the pool and had a swim at the same time. Unhoused people need showers as well. I think showering at Wachner Place should be free.
Well said Sarah! My thoughts too. I wrote a submission to council on the same subject. Most people don't know we have showers at Wachner Place and I only found out they existed when the Menzies building was being upgraded to a hotel. Council need to come up with an alternative before these are removed. I can feel another protest coming on 😏
There is a shower at nga kete health centre I guess for their clients use only which is something though limited. Totally agree there should be provision for this growing number of people in nz as a whole including myself this week
Loved this. Hope you write them after thirsty Thursday when you get home. Oh yes how dear we let grubby people go into the mall, If they can't have a shower at a cost they can afford maybe they need into the mall to get new undies at least. Other people need showers to. Maybe they are getting a new bathroom. Hope they are careful who the builder is in their dirty clothes to do renovations as they maybe not like in their house as they can't shower

Once again, well said :)
