Manukau East Shopping Shuttle

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

Playing it safe at Alert Level 2
The Manukau East Shopping Shuttle plays a crucial role in helping elderly and vulnerable people in our community stay independent and active.
Because many of our volunteer drivers and companion shoppers also fall into the 70+/vulnerable category, we are playing it safe by ensuring that we will;
1. Have our friendly drivers and companion shoppers usher people to their seats in order that we can achieve the intent of social distancing guidelines.
2. Only carry passengers who pre-book with us on 0800 632 677 (This will ensure we meet our obligations with contact tracing).
3. Refuse travel to any passenger presenting with flu-like symptoms.
4. High-touch surfaces on the vehicle will be regularly disinfected.

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.
