Poll: How are the traffic islands near you?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Work starts this month on a $300,000 “spruce up” to pour concrete over of 17 “difficult to maintain” traffic island sites with lawns or gardens around Hamilton.

The project is said to be primarily aimed at better safety for staff and the public - but the move will also generate annual savings, the city council said.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s 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 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
