Upper Hutt: Wider Community Connectivity

Dashed annoying WE see ourselves as "Upper Huttites", yet Neighbourly restricts us to only scope out to "Nearby Neighbours".
TRACY: I have a favour to ask of you. Unable to PM you here.
Election time has arrived, and campaigning is getting started.
With your 'foot in the door' ... are you able to suggest to all prospective Councillors that they include Neighbourly members for their 'promos'?
Many of us are NOT members of 'Facebook', but we like to be included in matters of importance.
UHCC itself is a Neighbourly member, but will only use the site "in case of emergency".
Failing that ... are you able to tell us how we can preview why those standing want our vote?
Just maybe there will soon be a written 'handout' we can view and compare.
Much appreciated if you can help.
Sandra

WELLINGTON CHAMPION LOCKS UNWANTED

Michael from Trentham

Wellington Lions won the 2024 NPC rugby title and they did it through an unmatched pack of forwards foremost. And in the "engine room" were its outstanding young locks Akira Ieremia (ex St Pats Silverstream) and Hugo Plummer.

Yet neither were selected among the Hurricanes squad with its six locks nor picked up by any of the other franchises - and this includes Australian teams plus Fiji and Pacifica. So these two players who fit the bill in all aspects are not rated among the top 70 locks in three countries plus the smaller Pacific islands.

It simply should not be so.

Ieremia is 1.92m tall and around 120kg. He can also play backrow. Plummer is 1.98m tall and around 120kg.

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.
