SPECIAL NEEDS SCHOOLS

Rodger from Sunnyvale

I am concerned with the possible restarting of these
(1) How are the children going to cope with COVID-19 Regulations
ie distancing min 2metre bubble space
often they need nappy changing one on one etc by Teacher Aides
(2) Not being able to use outdoor play equipment due to COVID-19
Most of these children look forward at school mostly to use this equipment and this tends to control their behaviour etc
(3) Most need special transport to take them to School especially those with high needs, autistism, and Orrs and other handicapped requiring wheelchairs and special equipment.

Actually these schools have not been mentioned by those making the decisions and rules to abide by as far as I know.

I put this out for comment from everybody

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?

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?
