Poll: Do people still check community noticeboards?

Jack Neighbourly Lead from Ponsonby

Hey team, Jack here again! 🌟

So, I was doing my weekly grocery run at Countdown Supermarket, and while waiting in line, I noticed their public noticeboard. It was filled with various ads and community notices – everything from local events to job listings. It got me thinking about how often we interact with these noticeboards in different places.

Personally, I always find interesting stuff on the one at the supermarket – you never know what local gems you’ll discover! But I wonder if others feel the same way.
