How do you like your community hall?

Noel Smith from Noel Smith Councillor - Newcastle Ward

Do you use Te Kowhai (or any other community) Hall?

Have you used it in the past?

If you don’t, could you tell us why?

We've got an online survey which includes the following topics:
- The needs of hall users
- What works well at your community hall
- Potential limitations associated with your community hall and suggestions for addressing these
.

The survey should only take no longer then ten minutes to complete.
This survey follows a series of workshops held with hall committees, councillors and users during August.

We want the community to be able to make the most out of their local halls.

So we encourage users and non-users to take part in the survey so that we can work towards maximizing the benefits of our halls as much as possible.

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Richard Griffiths at Visitor Solutions on (09) 972 1790, 027 459 8872 or rgriffiths@visitorsolutions.net.

Alternatively, please contact Annetta Purdy at Waikato District Council on either (07) 824 8633 or Annetta.Purdy@waidc.govt.nz.

Thanks!

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.
