The new central library

Fil from St Albans

So much for the alleged accessibly of the new library. I am a mobility scooter user, the lifts are too small for scooters. I and others with disabilities are limited to the ground floor. Where we struggle to get in and out. Why are there accessible toilets, but not lifts or easy to use doors? Surely we have reached an era where accessible for all should actually be for all and not just the able bodied.

Poll: Are swear words no longer?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In 2023, Apple amended its autocorrect function to allow Iphone users to freely use their intended word without mentioning 'ducks'. Is this a sign of the times? Are swear words no longer taboo in our communities or workplaces?

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.
