Poll: Are you following the progress of the Te Rapa supermarket development?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A speed limit drop from 80kph to 60kph for a controversial and key section of Wairere Dr near The Base looks set for sign-off at Wednesday’s city council meeting.

If okayed by councillors and then subsequently approved by the NZ Transport Agency, the move will end what’s been an ongoing controversy over the limit reduction.

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?
