Street captain
Dear Neighbours
I have agreed to be the Street Captain for alton terrace,pakuranga, to help connect our street in response to the developing COVID-19 situation.
With all of us in self-isolation and required to stay home and limit social interaction it is important we connect with each other so that neighbours can assist with any tasks which may become difficult like going to the supermarket or other tasks which need doing.
It is worthwhile to prepare while we can, and I am hoping we can set-up a street support group so that while we are in lock down we are able to provide support.
I will be doing a letterbox drop in the next day or two with my contact details should you need help. I will then set up a communication system so we can all keep in touch if we need help or we are able to help others.
Kind Regards
Safin
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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
