Time to start having your say on the Red Zone!

Ashley Campbell from Greening The Red Zone

Here's your chance to tell Regenerate Christchurch what you want to happen!

RC has released its draft outline, which is basically a document saying how it's planning to work over the next year in deciding what happens to the red zone. It's asked for feedback, and it's really, really important that it gets it! This will determine what chances you get to have your say over the next year.

RC didn't have to ask for feedback on this, but it has, so we should make sure we give it! Greening the Red Zone has made it easy for you. We've sent our submission in (the attached document) and we've created an easy submission form for you on our website.

If you agree with the points we make, HAVE YOUR SAY NOW! Our submission form is fully editable, so you can either use our suggested text (the very easy peasy option), edit it, or create your own.

Please make sure you submit. It's the future of the red zone we're talking about!

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.
