Plans to transform Trentham into racing, housing and retail hub

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

What do you think of plans to build housing for 1800 people in Trentham?
Trentham Racecourse’s operators have harnessed their hopes on a project that will integrate the venue with housing for 1800 people and a shopping centre.
Apartment blocks, a shopping complex and other community amenities are part of the proposal shortlisted for a slice of Kāinga Ora’s $1 billion Infrastructure Acceleration Fund.

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
