From our Councillor
Welcome to the ashhurst.org
website.
This site is dedicated to
introducing people who didn’t know to one of the jewels in the
crown of Aotearoa New Zealand. By exploring the site you will
find why I think this area is truly wonderful.
Although part of the city of
Palmerston North, Ashhurst is a distinctive community in its own
right; some 3000 people living in a village atmosphere a few
minutes drive, through attractive countryside, from the
remainder of a city of 80000 residents. All of the city
facilities are available but little of the hustle and bustle.
While all towns and cities have
many overlapping community groupings, Ashhurst is unique in my
view for being a strong community where the many regular groups
collaborate for the greater good. Ashhurst has a community
spirit and strength that is out of proportion to its size.
One feature of the Ashhurst area
is the Domain – a many-faceted parkland which includes a
sports ground complex, a marvellous children’s playground, bush
walks and wetlands, an historic cemetery, a viewing site for the
nearby wind farm, and a charming restaurant.
I am delighted to have Ashhurst
residents among the people I represent on the City Council.
