The Mount Base Path, move the TCC along.
As a community we need to push the council to get the round the Mount path fixed. How long does it take in Tauranga, it happened in April 2017. Its a beautiful path and is for everyone. Why does it take so long to repair. Quotes saying it will cost up to $7 million, who is crazy here. I thought the Auckland was good at getting ripped off, seems this council is not far behind. This track is for the people and could be enjoyed more by the people. Local engineers have looked at the work and say they could complete the work for less than $200,000. They say would be completed in less that a month.
Lets get this council into gear. The election is coming up, do we need positive changes. Read Letters in the Weekend Sun 12 July.
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)
.
