Taking a closer look at the city's eyesores

Matthew Dallas Reporter from Manawatū Standard

Hey neighbours,
Is there a rundown building or street, or anything really, in Palmerston North that turns up your nose or grinds your gears?
We're looking to identity the city's biggest eyesores and find out what's being done (if anything) to restore some polish and pride. Write a comment or email paul.mitchell@stuff.co.nz

* Please write NFP next to your comment if you'd want it published.

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.

Kathryn from West End

I have a ceramic lamp base that I’d like to be made in to a lamp. Anyone out there that can do the job?

Thank you!
