unsafe walkway lighting

Chris from Pahurehure

I would like to get feed back from other people in the neighbourhood on their view on the stupid new bollard lights that are replacing the existing lamp posts that provided good clear lighting.
It is disgusting that some bureaucrat sitting his useless arse in an office has decided to spend large amounts of our money on this project that has placed the safety of these walkways in question.
I live beside the walkway from ashdown place to clarkes road and the new lights are absolutely useless, the walkway is now used less at night due to it being so dark and uninviting. I invite any council or transit staff member and the local police community officer to actually come at night and have a look at the problem the new lights have caused, absolutely bloody ridiculous and unsafe.
several neighbours have contacted council about this but no reply has been given. lets make an issue of this now before any more walkways are affected. I understand that this new light system is to be spread out to all walkways across the area

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?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
