It's been just over a week since we reopened r/napier, and we've already unlocked a legendary achievement for reaching 100 weekly visitors!

Thanks to everyone who's joined in so far. It's great to see the sub coming back to life.

Still early days, but hopefully we can keep building a useful little community.

Keep the posts, questions and local happenings coming!

Cheers everyone.

Hey everyone! I'm u/aaron_atomised, the new moderator of r/napier.

This sub has been inactive and restricted for some time. It is now public again, so anyone can view, post and comment.

What to Post
Post anything that you think people would find interesting, helpful and relevant: e.g. local news, events, photos, recommendations, and questions about living in or visiting Napier.

I have put some basic rules in the sidebar to get started. Have a quick read before posting.

What would the world be like without it?
