Look under your roller
When was the last time you did a basic visual inspection of your car/truck/ute etc?
It’s a good idea to do it regularly. Why?
Driving to Napier and back today I saw so many vehicles with undercarriages that were dragging detritus. Branches, a tennis racket (at least it looked like what was left of one) and stone guards.
It’s quite easy to lose your stone guard, if you are too low or go too fast over a speed bump, raised curb, pothole or other uneven surface. Not to mention the damage you can donor your exhaust pipe or sump.
And if you catch thick branches they can do damage as well. Let alone a tennis racket.
Give your under carriage a look. See what is there and what’s not supposed to be. Especially in wet and windy weather.

Footpaths
Please don’t park across footpaths. It’s not only illegal, it leads to dangerous behaviour.
We have approximately 19 schools, kura and early child centres, plus 5 rest homes, and 2 disability residential centres, in Havelock North alone.
Parking over the footpaths restricts people’s safe movements, by forcing people who are trying to use the footpaths to go onto roads to get where they need to go.
It may inconvenience you, momentarily, to have to park further away and walk, but you endanger others by blocking the footpath. Please don’t.
Imagine you, or your loved one trying to walk with a stroller, or travel in a mobility scooter or wheelchair, trying to get past your car, blocking the footpath. What risk will they have to take, to get by?
The same thing applies to mobility parks. They aren’t there for you to just “pop in and out real quick”.
Your “real quick” is a long time for someone with limited mobility, or health issues.
Show some empathy.
Looking for a home
Knowledge Bank have a bound copy (very large) of April - June 1955 Dominion newspapers. We don't need it but it's too good to just chuck out - would anybody want it or know somebody that would like it
