Water meters

Nick from Blagdon - Marfell

Does anyone know what the plan is for the start of water meter charging? Will it be phased in for specific areas or will they wait until all meters are installed?
Also the discussion for Flouridation of our water has stopped, is the Council sticking to its decision to put flouride in the water? Hearing about various legal cases lately about the legality of it and the denial from Ashley Bloomfield that he mandated 14 councils to add flouride or face huge fines. Just interested to know either way.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
