What will the new expressway bypassing Levin mean for town businesses?

Matthew Dallas Reporter from Manawatū Standard

Morning neighbours,
Wednesday's funding announcement brings certainty and timeframes for land and home owners in the likely corridor for the Ōtaki to north of Levin expressway.
The improved highway south is expected to add to the town's desirability as a place to live, but will it mean for businesses that will miss out on the through-traffic? Do you think many shops and trades depend on commuters and travellers who currently pass through the Levin? Or do think the CBD essentially serves local residents?

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?
