Poll: Do we need more pedestrian crossings on Waimea Road?

Skara Bohny Reporter from The Nelson Mail

A council investigation is underway into making Waimea Road a "liveable arterial". Part of that includes the suggestion of putting pedestrian crossings, most likely pedestrian refuges or islands.
Do you think more pedestrian crossings would be a good idea on Waimea Road? What kind would you like? Where would you put them? Would you walk or bike more on Waimea Road if you knew you could cross it more easily?
I'd love to hear from you, so let me know what you think in the comments below.

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)
.
