Poll: Will you be using the new bus services?

Reporter Marlborough Express

The Marlborough District Council announced on Thursday it would trial return bus routes to Renwick and Blenheim's south and south-west regions for 18 months, from February 17.

The Blenheim to Renwick service would run four times on weekdays, two times on Saturdays, but not on Sundays. It would start and end at Blenheim Countdown, stopping at public favourites, such as the Westwood Ave PAK'nSAVE and the Marlborough Airport.

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?
