Mix it up at school pickup

The Team from Hamilton City Council

Schools in Hamilton face the same re-occurring problems when it comes to the issues around their school gates. Congestion, speed, poor parking and general bad driving behaviour seem to intensify out the front of school gates at drop off and pickup times across Hamilton.

Be a 3pm superhero and mix it up at school pickup. Why not try other transport options?

- Park down the road or around the corner away from the busy school gate
- Walk, bike and scooter at least once or twice a week
- Carpool with families in your area

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)
.
