The Locky Docks are here!

The Team from Whangarei District Council

This is a nifty and free way to securely park a bike, and it can even charge up your batteries. Works for mobility scooters too! ⚡🚲

Contractors are installing 10 parking stations in popular spots around the city. They can be used with or without registration - you just need an electronic key (any electric door key, or a Bee Card, a purpose-made Locky Dock card, or the "Bikeep" app on a smartphone). Instructions are on the machines.

With the Kamo Shared Path extended, new parking options, and new facilities being installed at Raumanga Reserve, this could be an epic summer of cycling. Hop on if you can!

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.
