Poll: Will a $21m Living Earth upgrade solve the Bromley stench one and for all?

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hey neighbours,

A multimillion-dollar upgrade will go ahead for the compost plant causing the infamous Bromley stench.

The foul stench has plagued the Christchurch suburb for years and left some residents on the brink of selling up. Others claim the plant is responsible for exacerbating health issues.

About $21.5m will be spent to enclose and upgrade the Living Earth plant to limit the odour spreading into the public.

Do you think this will help to rid Bromley of the infamous pong?

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.
