WE LOVE is NZ’s first all-in-one online netwo rk that offers news, business, shopping and community development. If you had the chance to use the power of the internet and smartphones to redesign and improve how everyone in Pukekohe and Franklin accesses, uses and shares information, what would it look like? Well for a start it would need to cater for everyone and include the three main areas that drive any community. We think these are: 1. Real local news that was truly independent and unbiased 2. Community activity and development 3. Local business and local shopping We Love Pukekoke takes care of these things but above all it’s about people. It’s about you. Independent & Unbiased Journalism Our qualified and experienced local news journalists will not only report promptly on local news in the Franklin area, but also to write articles and present information that is in the public interest. This means that you can expect important stories to be investigated, and facts to be checked. Being online means we’ll be publishing great stories 24/7 from our journalists and local contributors. And you’ll get the chance to make comments and give your feedback. Community Development We’ve listened to the community here in Franklin and have developed some innovative ways to support our local community groups including clubs, sports teams, charities, schools, churches and NGO’s. We are doing this right now by providing tools and resources to help our community groups connect with their supporters easier and achieve their goals. We’re hoping that our We Love Pukekohe Facebook page will earn your attention. It will be a place where you can get involved, shop (coming soon) and be part of what makes Pukekohe and Franklin such a great place. Go ahead and follow us! Support for Local Businesses We’ve made a goal to support our local businesses. Why? Because it’s our local business owners provide employment and stimulate the Franklin economy. We’re giving business owners the very latest online tools and know-how to allow consumers like you better access to products and services and better overall customer service. Our own Pukekohe Online Shopping Mall is coming soon! Stay tuned to learn how you can get access to great value online shopping, while at the same time helping to support your local community.
