Devonport Fifty Year Jubilee 1936

Keith from Devonport

This is a booklet published to celebrate the 50th Jubilee of Devonport.
Whilst the oversized cover is a little scruffy the internal 84 pages are in excellent condition.
It contains considerable history of Devonport pre 1936 and many period advertisements.
It has written on the cover, " R. P. Fletcher, 12 Wicklow Rd., Devonort and within is a badge for the reunion of ex Pupils & Teachers, Devonport School 1909-1914 R. P. Fletcher"
Quite a desirable piece of Devonport History?

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

Strong winds on Harbour Bridge

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Metservice is predicting strong winds across Auckland this afternoon and are urging caution if you need to use the Harbour Bridge.

What you need to know:
- Gusts are predicted to reach between 75 – 80 km/h between 2pm and 4pm.
- The bridge lane formation will most likely stay in a 4 x 4 formation.
- Motorists are urged to drive to the conditions and look out for the electronic message boards which will indicate lane closures and reduced speeds, and stay within their lane while travelling across the bridge.
- Drivers of high sided vehicles and motorcyclists are advised to avoid the Auckland Harbour Bridge and use the western ring route on State Highways 16 and 18.
