Do you support spending $300m on new link to Wellington?

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

The cost of a new shared path linking Lower Hutt and Wellington has risen by $130 million to more than $300m – its third budget increase – thanks to the rising cost of materials.
The Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency board has approved a total of $311.9m in funding for Te Ara Tupua, a 4.5km section of 5-metre-wide pathway for walking and biking from Ngāūranga to Petone, along the coast next to the Hutt Valley railway line and the highway.

NZ councils and social media. 🤔🤔🤔

Mike from Alicetown

My local council uses Facebook to disseminate a lot of information. For instance, it screens council meetings live on the platform.
Given that Facebook is based offshore and pays no tax in AoNZ should councils be using it?
Shouldn't all council information come from the council's own website? Why do we have to search multiple platforms to find information that should just be in one place?

🤔🤔🤔

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
