Petition re HUGE INDUSTRIAL SHIPPING CONTAINER PARK in Te Puna

Elly from Te Puna

An application for a HUGE INDUSTRIAL SHIPPING CONTAINER PARK on Te Puna Station Road is expected to be lodged any time soon.
If granted, there will be disastrous implications for Te Puna residents and a dire impact on local roads and SH2, with potentially 500 heavy vehicle movements added to the already congested roads.

A petition is started to ask the local government (WBOPDC and BOPRC) to PUBLICLY NOTIFY when this application is lodged, and also states an 'in principle' objection against this plan.

Please sign the on-line petition here: chng.it...

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)
.
