What's the water like at your place?

Reporter Manawatū Standard

Morena neighbours!
We often get reports from around the region about tap water being discoloured, brown or tea-like in appearance. Not the nicest sight, especially in warm weather like this where a cool glass of water from the tap is often required. We'd like to know what the water is like at your place? Some residents of Marton have got in touch to say their water is brown at the moment. We would like to hear your reports and see pictures of your tap water so we can start to get an idea of how widespread this issue is. If you're affected by this, let us know where you are, what your experiences have been and any photos of your discoloured tap water.

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.

Small electrical job

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!
