Foreign language books at NPDC library.

Charles from Lynmouth - Moturoa

It has recently come to my knowledge that one set of foreign language books has been or is being removed from our NPDC Library. Perhaps there was little demand but I am unaware this was the case. I wonder if anybody else has come across any other foreign language books being removed. There is a diverse range of ethnicities in New Plymouth now so should we not be trying to cater for these people who no doubt pay their rates like everybody else.

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?
