Playcentre volunteers sick of 'senseless' vandalism

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A team of volunteers running a playcentre repeatedly targeted by vandals say they are "frustrated" by the "senseless" and "wasteful" attacks.

Renwick Playcentre, west of Blenheim, has been vandalised twice this month, most recently over the long Labour Day weekend.

The culprits have smeared paint on the play equipment, similar to vandalism at the playcentre last summer, which stopped over the colder months. Read more here

Blenheim police confirmed they were investigating and said anyone with information could call the Blenheim police station, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

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?
