26 More Classrooms Needed if development goes through for Ohoka Primary

Tina from Swannanoa - Ohoka

The MOE has a firm stance on not adding any more schools in Ohoka. If the change of plan goes thru, Ohoka primary will be the zoned school for the New Ohoka Development. To met demand they will need 26 more class rooms to cope. The principal of Ohoka Primary said Ohoka school as it is today wont be able to cope. They will have to build a new school and they will loose all the rural charm the school has on offer now. All the schools in Ohoka area are close if not over capacity. Please send in a submission to not approve this change in the district plan. ANYONE, ANYWHERE can make a submission. www.waimakariri.govt.nz....

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?
