Rubbish dumped on section at Bay View
Anyone else disgusted by the rubbish dumped on the "cars for sale" section on Gill Road/Main North Road corner? I cleaned up two bags with my own HDC rubbish bags and a friend has tried to clean up some of the black bags and put them out to be collected but has been told in no uncertain terms by NCC Council staff to leave it alone or SHE will be prosecuted!! A council staff member was actually sitting in a van nearby this morning waiting to pounce as soon as she touched it - so council have the resources to send someone out to stake out the area & warn off people trying to clean it up but no resources to clean up the rubbish? In the meantime it is absolutely heaving with maggots and bugs and is only going to get worse if stray dogs get into it.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
