Style Council
Sweeping views across the city
My sight comes to pause upon a space
Caught momentarily by the billboards
Advertising those in the mayoralty race
Some wear their hair up and some like it down
Some wear skirts and some wear pants
Whatever their choice of clothing
They all stand for one's own politcal stance
Vote for me or vote for us
As a democratic society we have a choice
Either to go to the polling booth
Or don’t - not bothered in your freedom to win or lose
All who are pasted upon the boards
Leave you no choice to be doubtful
An example to those who take time to stare
Be sure to vote for your preference of Style Council

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
