Poll: Who's up for a week-long CBD dog amnesty?

Ian Allen Reporter from Marlborough Express

Well, it's official. Blenheim is hosting the Black Hawk National Dog Show next year. That's right, Blenheim, the town that doesn't allow dogs in the CBD. Should we say 'to hell with it' and let dogs in the town centre that week of October?
Here's the story in case you haven't seen it. www.stuff.co.nz...

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?

Pictured is a set of dehorners brought in for sharpening. Like all cutting tools, a sharp edge is essential for them to work efficiently and cleanly.

Good to see that pain relief is now part of the process as well.

If you have tools, knives, kitchen utensils, or other items that need sharpening or repair, come and see me:
🔹 Redwood Market – Saturdays
🔹 Marlborough Farmers’ Market – Sundays
Or contact me directly on 027 444 5535.
