Hi Neighbours,

Can you taste a difference between budget and premium milk? There are few things that divide the public as much as the budget versus branded milk debate.

So, what are your thoughts on our country's milk? Take part in our poll, and feel free to share your thoughts in the replies!

Do you support the teachers' strike?

Hi neighbours,

Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.

So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!

The council ran a four-day trial in January, during which planter boxes were used to block vehicles from using the through-road in front of the railway station. The public response to the initiative appeared positive at the time.

And now a report released by the council, to be considered at next week's infrastructure services and networks committee meeting, underlines the popularity of the change. Read more from the Otago Daily Times story here.

What are your thoughts on the ban? Do you support it?
