Poll: Do we need more pedestrian crossings on Waimea Road?

Skara Bohny Reporter from The Nelson Mail

A council investigation is underway into making Waimea Road a "liveable arterial". Part of that includes the suggestion of putting pedestrian crossings, most likely pedestrian refuges or islands.
Do you think more pedestrian crossings would be a good idea on Waimea Road? What kind would you like? Where would you put them? Would you walk or bike more on Waimea Road if you knew you could cross it more easily?
I'd love to hear from you, so let me know what you think in the comments below.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

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?
