Why Hampden St traffic lights would cost $1 million

Skara Bohny Reporter from The Nelson Mail

The council has given a pricing breakdown on putting traffic lights at the now-closed Hampden St intersection, explaining the $1 million price-tag.
What do you think - is $1m reasonable for traffic control, or is closing the intersection the right thing to do?

HI all
I am looking into building a tiny home soon and just wanting to scan the horizon for possibilities to lease (long term) around Nelson region (preferably city or north). Does anyone have a space on their land and would welcome me and my tiny home ? I am a fit 50+ , respectful quiet and very handy, great with animals all shapes and sizes, love nature and growing things. I have been house sitting for the last 2 and a half years; and now I am ready to have my own space and a tiny is just the right size for me. I am conscious of the impact that conventional building has on the environment and would like to be on wheels and use recycled materials as much as possible. I don't need to own my own land rather share the fun and contact with like minded..
I know there has been some discussions in the media about the legalities around them. I am happy to work with council to get everything approved. I am looking forward to your responses. Kindly Marianne

The National Party is considering a policy of fining parents $3000 if their children drop out of school and don't enter further education or training.

Simon Bridges says "The reality is if you're not in work, education or training, you're going to be languishing in a dole queue, and the evidence is potentially for a long time". Do you agree with this policy? Should parents be fined?
