SPRING is in the air!

The Editor from Te Kowhai Newsletter

Hello everyone!

I hope you enjoyed the September issue of Te Kowhai News - 24 pages of stories and photos from in and around Te Kowhai.

There's just 4 weeks until the cut off for the November issue - here's everything you need to know.

The inside cover theme is SPRING. Nice and easy as there’s so much inspiration around right now. New growth, new life, lots of pretty flowers, a lot of kids and animals with more bounce now that the weather's improving.

Send your spring photos with a short caption to tekowhainews@gmail.com before the deadline.

Your important dates:
• Friday 10 November at noon - deadline.
• Monday 20 November – delivery.

If you have an idea for an article please get in touch early to discuss your space requirements.


Thanks!

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.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
