Cyclone clean up about half way

Communications team from Hastings District Council

The clearing of fallen trees and branches from Council's parks after Cyclone Cook still has two to three weeks to go. In some parks and reserves the damage has been so great that it is taking a team of nine four days to clean up. Our people plus contractors are working extended hours to get things back to normal and we ask for your patience as we battle through it. About 80 per cent of Council's 170 green spaces were affected which gives an idea of the task. For much more info see: www.hastingsdc.govt.nz...

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.

Communications from Hastings District Council

A short Mitre 10 Park Hawke's Bay survey is open for people who don’t currently use the park. Your input, added to info from park users, will help shape a new master plan being prepared by the sports park management team that will (amongst other things) make the park more welcoming, accessible, and inclusive for all. Let them know what you think!
Topics include:
🏀 Awareness: Are you aware of the activities offered?
🏉 Perception: Do you feel the park is for everyone?
🏏 Access: Are there barriers keeping you from visiting?
🗓️ Survey closes 5pm, Sunday 1 December, 2024.
