Poll: Sinking street hits new low
The top end of Albatross Close in Whitby is sinking. It's gone from about 30 centimeters in July to about 1 meter now. There is a temporary access road, but residents are frustrated with the hold-ups and the time it's taking to get the job started on fixing it.
Do you think neighbours, particularly those worse affected with the slip right at the end of their driveways, should get some kind of rates rebate?
*Please put NFP with your comment if you'd rather it wasn't used in a potential news article*

83.7% Yeah, give the worst-affected a rates rebate
-
16.3% Nah, it wouldn't be worth the effort for a small amount anyway
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)
.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
