Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

Remembering the 51 Trees planted at Whangarei Falls, Tikipunga

Kristi from Tikipunga

1 July 2019

School children, parents and teachers, local maori Hapu members and Kuia & Kaumatua were among more than 100 people who together planted 51 trees in Whangārei to honour the victims of the Christchurch mosque shootings.

The idea for the planting of native trees to remember those who lost their lives in the March attacks came from a student.
