Poll: Is doing your bit to address climate change a priority for you in 2023?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The environment is on the mind for North Islanders after a recent study by the University of Auckland that found that Aucklanders are inhaling large amounts of airborne microplastics.

Some New Zealanders are trying to do their bit for climate change by biking more, planting trees, trying Meat-Free Mondays and only purchasing used clothing.

NZ councils and social media. 🤔🤔🤔

Mike from Alicetown

My local council uses Facebook to disseminate a lot of information. For instance, it screens council meetings live on the platform.
Given that Facebook is based offshore and pays no tax in AoNZ should councils be using it?
Shouldn't all council information come from the council's own website? Why do we have to search multiple platforms to find information that should just be in one place?

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
