Stay cool in the hot weather

Lisa Knight from MidCentral District Health Board

Today the temperature is set to hit the mid to high 20s with no clouds in the sky! Such a sunny treat, but remember to stay in the shade out of the sun as much as possible, and make sure you're wearing sunscreen. Slip, slop, slap and wrap is the age-old advice we're recommending this week, and keep up your water intake.

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)
.
