Hi neighbours,

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.

As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.

Summer season of Northland road resurfacing starts at Oakleigh on SH1

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The NZ Transport Agency advises motorists that State Highway 1 at Oakleigh, south of Whangarei, will be closed at night or reduced to one lane to allow road repairs and re-sealing. The road will be closed to all traffic for 2 nights on Sunday 28 October and Monday 29 October at night from 9pm to … View moreThe NZ Transport Agency advises motorists that State Highway 1 at Oakleigh, south of Whangarei, will be closed at night or reduced to one lane to allow road repairs and re-sealing. The road will be closed to all traffic for 2 nights on Sunday 28 October and Monday 29 October at night from 9pm to 5am.

The roadworks are happening just south of the Mangapai Road intersection in Oakleigh on SH1. The works will involve ripping up about 200 metres of road surface and replacing it with new aggregate and seal.

A detour will be in place for south-bound traffic via Mangapai Road, Paparoa Road, Paparoa-Oakleigh Road, and SH12 back to SH1 (see attached map). The detour is the same in reverse for north-bound traffic and will add another 30 minutes to the journey time. EV stations are available at Mangawhai and Whangarei details below.

The recommended detour route when SH1 at Oakleigh is closed overnight on Sunday and Monday. Please plan ahead and allow an extra 30 minutes for your journey.
