Grange Park Avenue is in Raumati South on the Kapiti Coast. The first residents arrived in 1947, and they watched each progressive house being built. Grange Park is a cul de sac, and that feature is the favourite for all of us. There are a lot of children who live on this street, so it is safe for them to play out on the footpath. Those whose offspring have flown the nest appreciate the quiet because of no through-traffic.
There is a mixture of long-term and recent residents. Those who are new are made to feel welcome, and we look out for each other. Recently, a neighbour, whom one child-resident had not met, came out to check on him after falling off his bike, and proceeded to instruct him on how best to steer his bike from the road to the footpath.
So even though, at this stage, we all may not know each other well, we do, nonetheless, have a tight-knit community spirit because there is an immediate sense of belonging to this street. We look forward to getting to know each other better over the coming months as we partake in “The Greenest Street” competition.
