$650 fine

Wayne & Vinita from Karaka

Disability parking spaces are for those of us with disabilities to park closer to shops. They are not for those of you who are too lazy to walk the extra 20 feet or so to the door, they are not for those of you that are "only going to be 5 minutes", they are not for those of you who are overweight and find it a struggle to walk any further.
They are for people with DISABILITIES. And unless you have a valid CCS permit that is clearly displayed, you can't park there. You must use YOUR OWN PERMIT, not mum's or dad's or grandma's... Yours. Apparently it will cost you a $650 fine if you are reported by someone.. and well deserved if you want to park there when you're not supposed to.

So if you park where I can't (because your not supposed to be there), don't be surprised if I block you in while I go about my business. And remember, our attitude towards you when you get caught out on this is often directly attributed to your attitude towards us for bringing it to your attention.

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?
