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: 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?
