Social Housing in Kensington and Otangarei

Ken from Kensington

Petition reason
We believe: Kāinga Ora’s intensive developments need to consider the impact on infrastructure, urban design, and safety for existing and new coming residents of Kensington and Otangarei; Whangarei’s infrastructure is already under pressure with schools at capacity, Whangarei Hospital functioning with stretched resources, and GPs unable to take more people on; thriving communities should cater to the needs of both newcomers and long-standing residents. What will be done to improve the access to GP and Hospital wait times?

I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

When tourists take over the streets and parking disappears, where do you find your calm?
Or is summer’s hustle something to enjoy rather than escape?
