St Alban News October/November 2020

Belinda Carter from St Albans Residents Association (SARA) Inc

In the October/November issue of St Albans News we say farewell to one of the previous owners of Bailies, Stan O'Keefe, who was responsible for relocating the popular inner city bar to St Albans after the quakes. There's an interesting back story. He died in September. On the final leg of his journey, Grandad goes in search of the source of St Albans Creek and finds it across the other side of Papanui Rd.

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?
