Poll: Do the region's roads need improving?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Taupō Times

Hi neighbours,
Taupō's mayor is calling for safety improvements to be made on State Highways in his district following three fatal crashes in which 16 people lost their lives.
Mayor, David Trewavas, is preparing to lobby the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), saying the number of crashes show that improvements to the roads is critical and it's now time to stop talking and start making roads safer.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
