Canterbury Park development scheduled for next month!

Rich from Hillmorton

There is some rather major development happening down at our park, starting next month and lasting an estimated 8 months. I may have missed it, but this sign down at the park is the first I have heard of it. Initial impression is that it is positive, anything to improve the water quality is a good thing, however it fails to address the main cause, the toxic storm water runoff into Haytons Stream.
There will be a large dry storage basin constructed, similar to those off Awatea Drive by the new Wigram sub-division. The pond will be enlarged, increasing the wetland area, though I imagine the water quality will still be to toxic for dogs etc to swim in. What do you think?

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 wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
