Volunteers Please!! Totara Park Track build, Saturday 1pm

Graeme Sawyer from JCA - Johnsonville Community Association Inc

As you may have seen in the "Independant Herald", JCA are organising another "Track Build" (and tree planting) session at Totara Park this Saturday. We need your help! so please come & "pitch in"
Totara Park is a 2.3 Ha Park nestled between Mclintock St. and the (terminal) end of Broderick Rs. This Track will join the two up, and give some "recreational ameinity" value to piece of regenerating bush that WCC has ignored for decades
We are "on track" to finish this track in about 4 months. If you want to help create a really useful and (we hope!) valuable new track for Johnsonville, please lend us a couple of hours of your time!
Where: Mclintock St (about 50 metres downhill from # 74 Mclintock St.)
When: 1pm Saturday 8 Augist
What to bring: A Spade and workgloves (if you have them - if not, we'll provide!)
Any Questions? (or to sign up for future track build initiatives), Text Graeme Sawyer on 027 444 1748

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.
