Community Concerned about Vape Store in the Village

At a recent Hataitai Residents Association Meeting, concerns were raised by the Community about the pending opening of a Vape Store on Taurima Street in the Hataitai Village.

Concern centre around the proximity of this store to Hataitai Kindergarten and on a main throughfare for local primary and high schools in the area. Within 1.5 kilometres of this store are two high schools, two primary schools, two kindergartens, a playgroup and a playcentre. The concern centring on the impact of this store would have on the health of local children.

The Resident’s Association and concerned locals are reaching out to local city councillors, businesses, churchs and sports clubs in the area. If you are concerned about this store, then please contact the Resdient’s Association to share your concerns: residents@hataitai.org.nz
