Picton Library & Service Centre wins award
Picton’s Library & Service Centre - Waitohi Whare Mātauranga, took out top honours in the Public Architecture section at this year’s Top of the South New Zealand Institute of Architects Incorporated (NZAI) Local Awards. Mayor John Leggett said the award recognises the work by Athfields who made a real effort to understand the community’s requirements for the building, which go far beyond a library.
“This is a space for the whole community to enjoy and the building’s design recognises that. With visitor numbers continuing to increase it’s clear people are using the facilities for a variety of programmes which is fantastic.”

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?

59% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.7% ... It is complicated
