Containers and food donations needed
Kia ora, I’ve recently started the Tāmaki Makaurau chapter of Food Not Bombs. We cook meals for people experiencing food insecurity across the city. We are greatly in need of freezer- and microwave-safe containers (e.g. that takeaways come in) and donations of veggies, beans, or pasta to cook with. You can see what we do at Facebook.com/foodnotbombsauckland. Please send me a message or call 021 022 49972 if you or anyone you know has donations or is in need of meals. Thank you very much!
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?
-
60.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... 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.
