Police warn motorists to take extra care as more trucks hit state highway one

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Waka Kotahi and Police are urging drivers to take extra care with a surge in trucks heading down state highway one.

More heavy vehicles will be rolling between Auckland and Northport for a week from Friday.

About 800 extra trucks are expected to hit the area as they carry 1200 containers from Northport to Auckland.

The receptacles hail from the ship Constantinos P which was diverted to Northport after delays unloading Christmas cargo in Auckland.

Motorists can expect to see up to 12 trucks every hour leaving Northport from 6 am to midnight for a week.

The Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency says people should plan ahead and allow more time for their journey.

Where possible, do you think employees should be able to work from home? Vote below and share your thoughts in the comments.

Anxious? Mindfulness for Anxiety - Meadowbank

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

You will have noticed that anxiety is natural for all creatures, and it is very important as a signal to help us navigate the world. But sometimes this signal can become like a smoke alarm that is stuck on.

Come and soothe body and mind with a small group for a gentle mindfulness session of ease and peace. The sessions develop the skill to meet our anxiety with care and compassion to loosen it up and find more courage in the face of our challenges.

Session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation

Next one is on Monday 21 October 1.30 - 2.45pm, Meadowbank Community Centre. Come and see what it is like! Contact me - the first session free, then Koha welcome. 021 255 1485

Ongoing on the 3rd Monday of the month.
