Rubbish collection day
Hi neighbours. Recently I had an awful fall while out walking along my street. I had to dodge all the rubbish bins on the footpath and walked on an unmown grass verge. I did not see concrete under the grass and fell face first landing on their driveway. It’s been three weeks now and still my knee is bruised and sore. I wrote to the council asking if there is still a need to put the bins on the footpath as the way they collect the bins now is different. A person collects them and loads them onto the truck to be emptied. In the past, the truck had an arm that lifted the bins onto the truck to be emptied. I asked why can’t the bins be put onto the grassed area. While I was waiting for hubby to come with the car to bring me home on that day, I reflected how difficult it could be for a mum with a stroller and children in tow possibly collecting children from school. They would either have to walk on the grass or on to the road. Pleased I don’t have an immobility scooter or wheelchair. .I am awaiting for an answer back from Auckland Council
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)
.
