Anyone living in Stephen Ave and Woodford Ave? - Update

Matt from Henderson

Hi everyone, Matt here. I just want to know if anyone who lives down these two streets want to take any photos of these apartments that the builders have made? I could myself but I do a paper run down these streets, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Reason I am asking this is so that people can realise how small and "pokey", well I think they are, these apartment buildings are. If anyone lives in Stephen Ave, you can just look at the colours that these apartment buildings are, they are purple, light grey, light green.

I am going to feel sorry to whoever is going to go to sleep at night next to the newly petrol station on Lincoln Road that the construction people are currently making.

It's not the actual construction people whose at fault. They are just told what to build and how to do it. It could be the boss himself or higher management who have told them what to build.

Anyways, I will leave you with that for now and will probably do some more posts soon.

PS, Kirsteen Fitzpatrick has given the image of Stephen Ave and Woodford Ave to give you an idea of what they look like.

The first two are of Stephen Ave and the other two are of Woodford Ave. What do others think? Would you like to live in a small "pokey" apartment type buildings.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
