Have your say on Access for Everyone Pedestrian priority vision
Have your say until 18 October on the City centre Access for Everyone proposal
- a Pedestrian priority vision. It will be great for residents in creating safe, more people-friendly streets, whilst still maintaining access for those who really need it.
Access for Everyone is a new idea to create more space in the city centre, responding to the needs of residents and our neighbourhoods.
The concept is based on reallocating street space in favour of people, operations and street functions and reorganising access to prioritise trips needed to support the city centre.
Benefits:
more attractive and inclusive city streets
more space for deliveries, servicing, construction and emergency services
better air quality
better public health from reduced pollution, lower traffic volumes.
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)
.
