Should Kiwi kids be allowed to cycle on the footpath?

Reporter The Hutt News

Hi all, thank you so much for your comments on this issue. It's certainly been a lively debate. Comments are now closed on this topic.

A Lower Hutt mother is one step closer to achieving her goal of allowing children to cycle on the footpath, thanks to a New Zealand Transport Agency report. Jo Clendon has presented a petition to Parliament to allow children and accompanying adults to cycle on footpaths as a safer alternative to the road. What do you think? Would it be safer for kids? Or would it create risks for pedestrians? Comments may be used in print unless you state otherwise with NFP (not for print)

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
