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?

Mōrena kiritata,

Some patients from Eketāhuna have been allowed to go to Masterton hospital for treatment rather than drive more than double the distance to Palmerston North hospital.

Patients in the small southern Tararua town were being turned away by the Wairarapa District Health Board because resources are stretched in Masterton.

But there's still restrictions in place.

Do you think patients should have to travel more than an hour for care if there's a closer hospital?

Shuffle resources or shuffle people?
  • 61.8% No, if they need care they should go to their closest facility.
    61.8% Complete
  • 15.8% Yes, if Masterton hospital is struggling people who are able should travel furth
    15.8% Complete
  • 22.4% No, hospitals should shuffle resources, not people.

We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn’t the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it’s the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.

A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 27 March - 5 April. This year’s theme is ‘Small Things Make a Big Difference’ - we couldn’t agree more!

Let us know how you’re celebrating by email or tag us online and include the following hashtag:
