Nature and Oteha Valley Rd

Kymberli from Fairview Heights

I have just seen a heart warming sight and felt the need to share it ..
Traffic along Oteha Rd came to a total stop this morning to allow a determined Mother duck and her eight tiny ducklings to cross the road. Everyone just waited until the small entourage waddled safely across the killer Rd , even better than that was all the faces that were watching from our cars and a large truck were smiling in support .
What a wonderous way to start a Wednesday
I salute you my fellow citizens
Go well Mummy Duck and stay safe

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?

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?
