Update for Martinborough flooding.

Latest update; the road is closed north of the Kokotau Bridge between Ponatahi and Carterton.

Weather update:
Stoney Creek and Te Awaiti have had over 130mm of rain in the last 24 hrs. The White Rock Road adjacent to the Tuturumuri school is underwater with water halfway up the fence.
Hinakura has had 95mm in 24 hours and Council contractors have cleared culverts at the site on the Hinakura hill yesterday.
Water is flowing across the Kahutara Road south of Kahutara and its expected that the Oporua spillway will be flowing across the road this afternoon, therefore closing that route out of Martinborough.
The Western Lake Road, just north of the East West Access Road intersection is flooded with surface water and again north of the Cross Creek intersection where a stream has burst through flood banks.
Stay safe, dry and keep off the roads if possible!!!

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! 😱
