Fear $400,000 car park regime an overreaction to 'ignorance' of a few

Matthew Dallas Reporter from Feilding-Rangitīkei Herald

Hi neigbours,

The local council is seeking feedback on a monitored parking proposal for the Feilding CBD, funded by the ratepayer.

It's hoped three-hour limits will help turnover parks and provide greater opportunity for shoppers to find spaces, presently dominated by all-day workers.

Do you think parking limits and the threat of fines is the best way to persuade town workers to park away for the shops, or are there other ways to encourage buy-in for better parking etiquette?

Feedback closes September 12.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
