Yankee Appeal update

Lisa from Linwood

Hi, A tremendous thank you to all who kindly contributed donations towards the Yankee appeal which has now been filed because of your kind generosity. Thanks also to the Community Law Centre in Christchurch who devoted their time and expertise to prepare the appeal documents. Thanks to you all for posting and commenting about this important issue for our community wellbeing. I will let people know the outcome of the Appeal and I will post back when I have the facebook page running as some of you suggested. Thank you so much for helping the community towards a better future. Lisa Cowe

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
