Poll: Do you think these spots chosen are good for raised pedestrian crossings?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

New plans for controversial raised pedestrian crossings in Hamilton look set to proceed on Heaphy Tce outside the Jamia Mosque and at a major intersection in Hillcrest.

Staff have recommended to the infrastructure and transport committee that a paired zebra crossing with a raised safety platform, refuge island and kerb extension is built near the mosque.

Do you think these spots chosen are good for raised pedestrian crossings? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Leaving Neighbourly

Orlando from Pukete

Hey everyone, just a quick note to say I’m leaving Neighbourly. I joined because I thought it would be a good way to connect with people in the community, especially the older generation, and to receive advice, help, and shared knowledge.

Over time I’ve made quite a few posts genuinely looking for help or guidance, and unfortunately I’ve rarely received any responses. Most of the time it’s just one or two likes and no actual comments or help, which gets pretty discouraging after a while.

I understand people are busy, but when you consistently put things out there and hear almost nothing back, it starts to feel like there’s no real point in being part of the platform. Because of that, I’ve decided it’s best for me to move on.

No hard feelings — just not the right fit for me. Wishing everyone all the best.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
