As today is a public holiday, I headed off to the Hydrotherapy Pool at 9AM, even though their website says that it opens at 7AM on public holidays.

As today is a public holiday, I headed off to the Hydrotherapy Pool at 9AM, even though their website says that it opens at 7AM on public holidays.

Like the other people there, I went home disappointed. We'd all looked at their website, but apparently, after an hour of calling council and the nice lady there doing some ringing around, we discover that they are not only putting up their prices; they are also changing their hours.

Wouldn't it be lovely if they saw fit to let the public know? Judging by the confused lifeguard that also turned up, they may want to let their staff know as well.

Schools in Hamilton face the same re-occurring problems when it comes to the issues around their school gates. Congestion, speed, poor parking and general bad driving behaviour seem to intensify out the front of school gates at drop off and pickup times across Hamilton.

Be a 3pm superhero and mix it up at school pickup. Why not try other transport options?

- Park down the road or around the corner away from the busy school gate
- Walk, bike and scooter at least once or twice a week
- Carpool with families in your area

Plan ahead to stay safe and avoid delays this Labour Weekend

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The NZ Transport Agency has developed a tool that shows predicted traffic flow across popular journeys based on travel patterns from previous years. It can be found here.

Because predicted peak times can change based on incidents, weather and even driver behaviour we suggest that you check hereView more
The NZ Transport Agency has developed a tool that shows predicted traffic flow across popular journeys based on travel patterns from previous years. It can be found here.

Because predicted peak times can change based on incidents, weather and even driver behaviour we suggest that you check here before you leave for accurate information about current road and traffic conditions.

The holiday journeys site shows the busiest areas through Bay of Plenty and Waikato are expected to be the Kaimai Range, State Highway 2 between Paeroa and Waihi and State Highway 2 between Tauranga and Katikati, State Highway 1 north of Hamilton at Taupiri, State Highway 1 south of Cambridge at Karapiro, State Highway 2 at Maramarua and the Coromandel on State Highway 25 at Tairua and Kopu Bridge.

When driving this Labour Weekend, take care to:
- Drive to the conditions, whether it’s the weather, the time of day or amount of traffic
- Take regular breaks to stay alert and ensure fatigue doesn’t affect your driving
- Keep a safe following distance from vehicles in front so you can stop safely
- Be patient - overtaking is unlikely to make a significant difference to your journey time due to the amount of traffic expected over the weekend.
- Allow plenty of time, remember you are on holiday and avoid the need to rush
- Check your car is in good "health" before you head off.

Planning on hitting the water this weekend? ⛵💦

Kia ora water-lovers!

Here are some tips to make sure you and your loved ones are well prepared and stay safe:

Kia ora water-lovers!

Here are some tips to make sure you and your loved ones are well prepared and stay safe:

1. Check the marine weather forecast before you go out, it could save your life! 58% of boaties already check it. We want the other 42% to make it a habit. MetService New Zealand's Marine App makes it easy.

2. Tests your life jackets. Pull hard on the straps and see if any of them stretch or rip. Check all over for any existing tears in the straps and any cuts or punctures in the life jacket. If yes, do not use the life jacket, dispose of it, and replace it. Always check if it floats before putting them on. Keep in mind kapok life jackets should not be used as they can absorb water and sink, their cotton straps also easily rip! Burn them or bin them, but whatever you do - don't use or resell them.

3. For this year's Safer Boating Week, boaties are being reminded to “Prep, Check, Know” - prepare your boat, check your gear and know the rules before going on the water.

Let's put in the time and effort to make sure there are NO water related accidents or deaths this Labour Day long-weekend! Don't forget to look out for each other and report any concerns you have to local authorities.
