Homeless

Marcia from Onerahi

There empty buildings in town that could be turned into shelter some segregating male/single families/families /female even car park the old dairy house is empty close to town transport. Each floor must have toilets and showers offices turned into bedroom areas tea rooms. Of course it takes a lot of organising. Fire and health issues.
Some may have drug/alcohol/mental problems so that could cause a problem but they could be in another building getting shelter and help.
Some would rather stay outdoors it's there way of life.
Easier said than done.
My husband saw 2 souls sheltering under a bridge. I know children and parents are in cars sleeping.
Just an idea?
Who owns the old countdown in Kensington ?

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.
