Rates Rebates - Fairly topical right now!
Tomorrow we have someone from the HDC coming along to talk to the group about rates rebates, who can apply, what you need to do and much more.
Many people don't realise that they may fit the criteria for the rebate scheme but hopefully after tomorrow we'll all know a bit more.
Date: Friday the 20th April (tomorrow)
Time: 9.45 for a cuppa ready for a 10am presentation
Location: Hall at St Lukes church 24 Te Mata road. Located at the rear of the church.
Open to anyone who is interested.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
