Local Elections 2022 - #CrashCourseInCouncil
Next up in our #CrashCourseInCouncil, we level up on service requests👇
Service requests are when someone in our community asks us to get something done. We manage hundreds of requests a day on all kinds of things. Our teams responded to 13,035 regulatory-related service requests alone in the 2020/21 financial year.☎️📨📱
Some things we can get sorted, like a blocked drain, a building query, graffiti or a pooch on the loose. And some things we can’t – like a plane flying over your house in the afternoon (yes, we really got a request to stop planes flying over someone’s home). ✈️ 🏡
Keen to see what else we get calls about? Read more at www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
