Enable Fibre Install - Warning

Kelly from Kaiapoi

As most of you are aware they are installing fibre cable around Kaiapoi, Enable are the company that will come out to your house to install it for what ever internet provider you choose, they do the outside one day and the inside another, they say you don't have to be home when they do the outside however I suggest you do because they did a terrible job, I told them to run it along the fence line and then they had to cut across the lawn along another fence line so I was aware they had to dig up a section of lawn.

So I get home and they have run the cable along the fence line however instead of digging it in they just screwed it into the fence so I have the cable visible from the street and our kitchen running along the fence, it looks terrible, then where they dug along the lawn they did a terrible job at attempting to clean up, just left clumps of dirt everywhere and you would think as a courtesy they would throw some grass seed on it... nope just dirt, I will be calling Monday to get them to come back out and fix it and make sure its clean when they leave. Just a heads up.

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.
