๐Ÿš— Let's Talk Traffic in Our Area! ๐Ÿšฆ

Hey neighbors! Quick shoutout from Newmarket. So, on the bus recently, and guess what? Bus lanes turned into a mini parking lot for some cars playing hide and seek! ๐ŸšŒ Classic move, right?

Now, onto these traffic lights. That stretch is something else โ€“ 8 sets in a row, spread across 500m of road. Your car practically gets a green light workout before budging an inch!

But let's shift gears. How's everyone else finding the traffic flow in your area?

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 wouldnโ€™t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
