Opaketai Beach Haven Gardening Day this Sat 5th Sept 9.00am

Lisbeth Alley from Beach Haven Birkdale Residents Assn Inc

HI Everyone,
This coming Saturday 5th September from 9.00am to 12.00pm, Beach Haven Placemaking Group and the BH Residents Association will be working in Opaketai Beach Haven Garden spreading mulch donated by Treescape. We will also spread the mulch in the Rangatira Road- Beach Haven School Walkway garden as well.
This is vital work to enable the gardens to survive over summer with minimal (if any) watering – especially crucial if we get another drought this summer. We would love your help if you can make it - please bring a wheelbarrow or buckets and a shovel/spade, etc.

We will be maintaining social distancing as much as possible so a mask and hand sanitister, etc would also be a good idea 

See you there, Lisbeth
Beach Haven Placemaking Group and BH Birkdale Residents Association

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.
