Community invited to see plans before safety work starts
Community invited to see plans before safety work starts on SH1. Safety improvement work is about to start on State Highway 1 (SH1) between Wellsford and Warkworth, through the Dome Valley.
Before work gets underway the community has an opportunity to view the plans for the road and talk to the project team.
The planned work includes safety barriers being installed to help stop head-on crashes, shoulders widened making it safer for motorists to pull over, and several intersections will be improved. More information of where the events are planned here: www.scoop.co.nz...
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
