Slippery slope of city standards
Tēnā koutou e hoa mā,
Palmerston North's dog pound run by the council isn't up to scratch.
A report showed animal welfare wasn't up to standard sparking questions from central government about the facility's responsibility to the pups.
On Wednesday the council approved a proposal to build a new $3 million facility, as the old pound could not be brought up to compliance standards.
What other standards do you think are slipping around the city?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.1% ... It is complicated
