Napier/Hasting traffic delays

Clare from Napier South

Hi there. My son in law is working for a transport firm. They are encountering huge delays getting goods over to Napier. What that means is our goods are going to get much much dearer!!!!

ONE SOLUTION.
If you work and live in two different cities, please look into staying with family members in your city of work.. WE HAVE TO EASE THE CONGESTION SO THAT AMBULANCES AND VITAL WORKERS (AS WELL AS GOODS VEHICLES) CAN MAKE IT ACROSS IN A TIMELY MANNER.

To those WHO HAVE A SPARE ROOM. please consider opening it up for a reasonable price to those working in a different city to where they live.

THIS PROBLEM IS LONG TERM SO LETS ALL THINK OF SOLUTIONS.

Once prices go up, they likely won't come back down again.

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
