Free clean fill/topsoil
Hey a mate of mine (Simon) in Papakowhai has several trailer loads of clean fill to get rid of this weekend.
If anyone in Porirua/Whitby/Elsdon area wants this, then drop him a line on 027 4628233. It would be a win/win if you took this off his hands otherwise he will have to pay tip fees to dump it.
It has to be this weekend 23/24 March 2019. You could drop by his house to collect yourself or he may be able to deliver it to by arrangement.
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)
.
