Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β€” and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Primary School Tutoring – North Shore

Kelly from Hillcrest

Hi neighbours,

I’m a local primary school teacher with experience teaching Years 3–6, and I’m offering a small number of after-school tutoring sessions for primary-aged students.

I can support children with:
β€’ Reading and comprehension
β€’ Writing skills
β€’ Maths confidence
β€’ Catch-up support or extension for capable learners

My focus is on helping students build confidence as well as skills, using practical strategies that work in the classroom.

πŸ“ I’m based on the North Shore, close to Willow Park Primary School.

⏰ Current availability: Thursdays at 4pm, with a few fortnightly session options also available.

$60 for 45 minute sessions.

If you’d like to chat about whether tutoring could help your child, feel free to send me a message.

Kelly
