Roadworks SH2/Vista Cres

Keith from Timberlea

For those who do not see the NZTA updates on FB:

UPCOMING ROAD WORKS - STATE HIGHWAY 2 – UPPER HUTT

At Brown Owl in Upper Hutt, a new footpath with a kerb and drainage channel is being constructed along the east side of the highway north of the intersection of Main Road with Akatarawa Road and Vista Crescent. Construction on behalf of the Upper Hutt City Council is expected to take up to 3 weeks from Monday 14 August. The project requires removing the existing guardrail and trimming the overhanging bushes before the footpath site can be excavated. If you are traveling through the area you can expect to see lane closures and speed restrictions in place Monday to Friday.

Motorists are advised to TAKE EXTRA CARE as traffic cones will define the lanes to allow the workers a safe zone in which to work.
Pedestrians will be diverted to the other side of the highway via the pedestrian underpass at the northern end.

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: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
