Mail thefts in Dairy Flat, Coatesville areas

Caroline Williams Reporter from Rodney Times

Hi neighbours. Police are investigating a spate of mail thefts in the Dairy Flat and Coatesville-Riverhead areas. Residents have reported streets of mail boxes being found open in the mornings, missing mail and letters strewn across neighbourhoods in the last month.
Others reported finding stacks of opened mail addressed to different people in their mail boxes. Some were planning to booby trap their mail boxes with dog faeces or glitter in hopes of catching the culprits, but police advised against this, saying the investigation should be left to them.

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?
