Birkenhead Pool to Reopen

John Gillon from

Fantastic news about the Osborne Pool at Birkenhead Pool and Leisure Centre! It will be opening in time for the July School Holidays.
Thankyou to everyone who has written to the Local Board in support of re-opening the pool. And a big thankyou to the Birkenhead Leisure team who have been working really hard to find a solution.
Details of the opening hours are still to come.

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?
