Council Recycling bins

Bettina from Parkvale

Is anyone else concerned about the three small bins we will be issued for all our recycling? I currently would fill them at least twice over... When I spoke to someone at the Council to see whether it was possible to purchase additional bins I was advised that this isn't possible right now, however, they will be open to feedback on this. So please, once you've been issued the bins and if you find them insufficient, give the Council feedback, either by phone, online or in person. Many thanks

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)
.
