Love Where You Live - February 1st to 29th š„°
Love is in the air this month! Weāre not just talking about Valentineās Day... weāre talking about this monthās national campaign.

Whether itās organising a street clean up, helping a neighbour tidy up their property, putting together a working bee, or installing a communal pÄtaka or library - there are countless ways to make our neighbourhoods more enjoyable for everyone.
Donāt forget to share the love! Let us know how youāre improving your neighbourhood this month by email or tag us online and include the following hashtag:

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, thereās 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 šŖš°šŖ
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship ā like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed šš²š
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisationsālike NZTAāmanage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
Weād love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
88% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
12% No. This would be impossible in practice.
