What should a "City for All Ages" look like?

Reporter The Nelson Mail

On Monday the Nelson City Council launched its "City for All Ages" initiative, engaging with residents and community groups to find out how Nelson could be a better city to live in for young and old alike.

Currently 20 per cent of Nelson's population is over 65, with that number expected to increase to more than 30 per cent by 2043.

What changes could be made in your community to make it a more age-friendly place to live?

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)
.
