Hinemoa Street Roadworks
Work is currently underway to reseal Hinemoa Street, Birkenhead, and is expected to be completed on Monday 24 February.
Unfortunately the work is happening at night to avoid disrupting traffic, and that does mean that neighbours will need to put up with noise from 7pm-5pm during this period (except for Friday and Saturday nights).
The good news is that unlike what is happening in other streets (see my earlier post), Hinemoa Street is being upgraded from chip-seal to smooth-seal/hotmix, however this does mean that the work is extra-noisy as it requires scraping back the old seal.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
