Poll: Should raised pedestrian crossings go in at the Alabama Rd and Weld St roundabout?

Chloe Ranford Reporter from Marlborough Express

Plans for raised pedestrian crossings on each road off the Alabama Rd and Weld St roundabout are receiving an independent safety audit.

The crossings would be 100 mm high - the same height as speed bumps - and were expected to slow motorists down to 30kph.

What do you think? Are crossings the height of speed bumps needed for that intersection?

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?
