Poll: Marlborough Speed Reductions

Neighbourly.co.nz

What do you think about the proposed changes to Marlborough speed limits?

Speed limits across the Marlborough region are set to reduce, with much of State Highway 6 speed limits scheduled to be slashed. Most of Blenheim's and Picton's town centre speeds are set to decrease from 50kmh to 30kmh with stretches of State Highway 6 being assigned lower speed limits.

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.

Cheers,
