Sparks Park development

Steve from Carterton District

All Sparks park users may want to look at the attached sub division plan.a

CDC is considering a sub division that uses some of this lovely park. Not only was the park gifted to the good folks of Carterton but it is also a part of the Carterton greenbelt!

Also seems like they may be considering rezoning the Belverdere Rd/Kent St/ Connollys Line area to urban, this way they can squeeze in an 41 extra rate paying properties

Anyone who knows the land they are talking about knows it is a bog and totally unsuitable for any type of housing development. It is also part of a flood zone according to CDC itself!

Goodness me CDC what are you thinking? C'mon folks, have your say and get on to our local representative and let them know what you think

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.
