Poll: Do you still go to the library?

Eleanor Wenman Reporter from The Hutt News

Hi everyone,
One of our reporters is working on a story on how we use our libraries. Statistics show number of items being issued are declining, but do you still go to the library for other reasons (e.g. to use computers)? Or do you not go at all? Feel free to answer our poll and comment below on your library habits. What's the best part of going to the library if you visit regularly? Comments may be used in print and online unless stated otherwise with NFP.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
