Eureka! ELECTION TIME!
This evening I have noted some new names appearing on our pages.
Must be Local Body Election time...
I truly wish to THANK the acknowledgement that there is life beyond the other social media platform.
Please feel free to create an 'Election Group' here on Neighbourly to share your aspirations for our city.
That way you can access all the Upper Hutt communities beyond your 'Neighbours' and 'Nearby Neighbours'.
OR: one can use this page which was set up so we can reach North, South, West and East members in one hit.
Another benefit is that aspirants will only have to answer a question once!
Seems to myself that there are several important issues around this election, so everyone having the same info will be helpful.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? π»π¨π
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weβre a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
