Making the Jewel of the City shine
Members of the Youth Advisory Group will be out at different times of the day from this coming Monday 22 January until 29 January surveying people out and about on the Hatea Loop to find out what they think about it, what improvements they'd like to see and seeing just how many people are taking advantage of this great space.
The photo shows members of Jewel of the City survey team with photo boards at the Bascule carpark, also one of the proposed development sites they are seeking public feedback on.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
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?
-
35.4% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.6% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Rubbish dumping
Can whoever is dumping their rubbish down the bank on Memorial Drive please stop. The Pack and Save bags for life that you're using are probably just as expensive as the council rubbish bags that you can also buy at Pack and Save.
