Westports 7 Day Makeover
What an outstanding achievement. Folk of Westport can be right proud of themselves and their community for creating and working tirelessly all week. Buller District Councils webcam is a great way to see what has been completed in from of the NBS centre with red carpet laid and bean bags a plenty on the lawn. More has been completed outside New World with the Town Cloak getting some railway sleeper seating and plantings.
This is one project that Council did well in instigating albeit off to a rocky start at concept. Westport, not only do you SHINE, your a STAR.
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)
