"Old and tired" Wither Hills woolshed

Alice Angeloni Reporter from Marlborough Express

An "old and tired" woolshed in the Wither Hills will be repaired to hold one last shearing, before potentially being replaced.

The almost 100-year-old woolshed at the end of Old Redwood Rd and at the base of Mount Vernon was issued an Improvement Notice by WorkSafe in May.

Council originally thought they could fix up the existing shed, but were now recommending to council that the shed should be replaced

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?
