State Highway 25A closed for days
Hi neighbours,
A large slip blocking State Highway 25A on the Coromandel Peninsula won't be cleared for at least four days.
The approximately 50-metre slip on the Kopu-Hikuai Rd, the main arterial route across the peninsula, will be closed in both directions until at least Thursday, police said in a statement.
The slip occurred at Kitahi Rd, near the summit, at 7pm on Sunday
Diversions are in place at the intersection with SH25 in Kopu, and at the Whangamata/Tairua intersection with SH25
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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
