Huatoki Eels

Lisa from Brooklands - Vogeltown

Kia ora Koutou
Would like to ask the community how they would feel about making the eels in the Huatoki Stream near the Huatoki Plaza 'protected'? The eels are a great attraction to the community and am appalled at their recent demise of being stomped on. I also had a thought of having a small barrier across the stream from the steps leading down to the river along to the bridge. The community would still be able to feed them however the barrier would be more of a deterrent to those wanting to harm them. Would be interested in your thoughts please.

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.
