Poll: Did you know Nelson is in water restriction stage 2?

Skara Bohny Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Nelson city councillors are concerned that people aren't getting the message that water needs to be conserved. Nelson has been in Stage 2 water restriction since February 15.
Did you know there was a restriction? How did you find out?
Stage 2 restrictions ban the use of sprinklers at home, handheld-hose watering of gardens only, and an encouragement to conserve water where possible. Share your tips in the comments!

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?

Earth Emotions Silent Auction

Krisca Gould from Nelson Tasman Hospice

Monday 16th February - Monday 2nd March

Bid on a special collection of 20 unframed prints by local photographers from an exhibition called Earth Emotions.

Glenn Allbrecht's book, Earth Emotions, inspired Ann Wheatley, Emma Jane Hughes and Peter Kemp to create a local exhibition exploring the health of our soils, waters, forests, and people, with support from the Nelson Tasman Climate Forum and the Nelson City Council.

Forty-seven photographers responded to an open call, contributing over 100 images. A selection of these was exhibited at the Refinery Art Space.

The photographers have donated 20 exhibition prints to raise funds for the hospice.
