Blocked Drain / Flooding
Hey Neighbours, the weather is predicted to turn ugly this evening. The amount of rain expected will pick anything up in its path and do what it's designed to do, take it down your drain and into your Stormwater line. We recommend checking your yard and picking up anything light that could be carried by the rain and taken down your drain. As much as we'd love your business and to see you, we're sure it's an expense you don't need this side of Christmas. We have the Hydro Jett unit available for our neighborhood in case you find yourself experiencing flooding or blocked drains. Keep well & keep dry.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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 wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
