“The staff are absolutely amazing,” explains Glenda. “They go out of their way to speak to you, to make sure you’re ok.”
Hoko and Glenda feel very fortunate for the support they received when Hoko experienced some health issues. It wasn’t just the village staff who provided support, the whole community rallied around them.
“When I got sick the community itself looked after me,” Hoko explains.
“I can’t speak highly enough of the staff here,” Glenda says.

The speed limit review is the first part of a rolling review that Council will undertake over the next two years as part of the national Safer Journey's programme.
Marsden Point, Waipu and Vinegar Hill Road are the first areas to be reviewed and all contain roads where the current speed limit does not reflect the road environment, creating higher risk for all road users. The increased risk is reflected in the crash statistics for these roads.
Northland Transportation Alliance Strategy and Planning Manager, Jeff Devine says speed was a significant factor in 30% of the 733 fatal and serious injury crashes in Northland between 2014 and 2018 and there is a strong community desire to address the issue.
Road Safety and Traffic Engineer, Nick Marshall said that in most cases, a lower speed limit will reduce the number and severity of crashes but will only have a small impact on overall journey times as most people’s average speed on these roads is much lower than the posted speed limit.
Further information on the current speed limit review, including a Statement of Proposal and how to make a submission can be found on Council’s website at www.wdc.govt.nz... or by emailing Council at mailroom@wdc.govt.nz
Submissions must be received by Council before 5:00pm, Monday 9 December.
