What are your views on dogs?
(from PCC):
Porirua City Council wants to hear your thoughts on how dogs should be managed in Porirua.
Whether you have a dog or not - your feedback is welcomed on changes proposed in a review of the City’s Dog Control Policy and Bylaw.
Should dogs be allowed to run on beaches for longer each year?
Should we create some new exercise areas where dogs can run off leash?
Should we neuter breeds of dogs deemed menacing?
And while you are giving feedback, the Council also wants your views on whether Porirua needs a fenced dog park?
Share your thoughts until 14 July online through the Council’s website at pcc.govt.nz...
You’ll also find the consultation documents at city libraries, our main administration building in Cobham Court and the Dog Control Centre on Prosser St.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
