Will your family be using the new BMX track?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Rotorua News

Hi Neighbours,
It's going to be a launching pad for future champions once it's built - and it's right here in Rotorua.
The site for the new $1.4 million BMX track at Waipa was blessed by kaumatua Reverend Canon Bob Schuster​ this week see story below.
Do you think this is a facility you'd use in the future?

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?
