Poll: Does one hour free parking entice you to visit the central city?

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

The one-hour free parking offer in Christchurch City Council-owned parking buildings is coming to an end on Monday August 31.

The three-month offer was introduced to support central city retail and hospitality businesses recovering from the Covid-19 lockdown.

The Lichfield Street and Christchurch Art Gallery parking buildings will charge normal rates from Monday.

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)
.
