Calls for better planning of shared pathways

The Team Reporter from Manawatū Standard

City planners are being urged to put more thought into safety when it comes to shared pathways in the aftermath of a child's death in Palmerston North. Do you agree? Does more need to be done to protect our shared pathways?

A two-year-old boy died on Friday on a walking and cycling track alongside the Pioneer Highway. The crash involved a motorbike and a family of five, who were riding bicycles.

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?
