Have you received your new wheelie bins and crates for rubbish and recycling?
The collection of wheelie bins and crates starts on 31 October - just under a month away!

- Mokoia Community Association (297 Vaughan Road)
- Progress Ngongotaha - during opening hours (180 Ngongotaha Road, across from the Post shop)
- Linton Park Community Centre (16 Kamahi Place)

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
