Many children are taught in classes spanning two year groups at Nelson primary and intermediate schools. Some schools favour students staying with the same teacher for two years. Is this a good system?

The council is going to close Hampden St west's intersection with Waimea Rd for a year-long trial, starting in October.
Some residents of the street say they weren't made aware of the closure, others are concerned about passing traffic pressure onto other surrounding streets, and some people think the closure of one intersection isn't enough to make people safe.

Dirty Nelson

Sally Kidson Reporter from The Nelson Mail

I picked this rubbish up in about five minutes along Atawhai Drive this week. A lot was plastic. What do you think can be done to stop this? Where is particularly bad for littering in Nelson? Is there somewhere you could spend five minutes cleaning up the roadside?

Mental Health + Well-Being - September 1st to 30th 🧠

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

Did you know, 1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives? When they do, let’s make sure they never have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

Did you know, 1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives? When they do, let’s make sure they never have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.

Don’t forget, this month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (23 - 29 September) and Mental Health Awareness Day on October 10th.

However you choose to take part, feel free to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:
