Have you tried out Kaiapoi's new BMX track yet?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Kaiapoi's newly-rebuilt BMX track was officially opened on Saturday, celebrating by beginner and experienced riders looking for a bit of fun.

The track - designed and built by BMX Olympian Trent Jones - features a starting mound and track that is four bikes wide, allowing friends to race each other for fun.

It's located near the sports fields, dog park and wetlands in Kaiapoi East and replaces the old track that was damaged in the Canterbury earthquakes.

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.

Share your ideas for WDC waste management

Frank from Waikuku & Waikuku Beach

My wife received an email from the Waimak Council at the beginning of September inviting her say on waste management. I assume from the very little response that very few people received this email and even know about this. Here is the link so you can put in your input. letstalk.waimakariri.govt.nz...
