The Village Pools are open

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Despite the “CLOSED” sign at the front of the pools, they are open for the season.

Apparently someone lost the OPEN sign, and instead of putting the little hand made sign over the big CLOSED sign, some numpty decided to put it at the bottom of the new Village Pools sign, so no one could see it.
It did make for a not too crowded swim this afternoon, when we finally figured out they were open.

I feel sorry for all the people who didn’t realise, and ended up going home when they saw the Closed sign. We passed a few looking hot and miserable, going the other way.

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.
