What's one highway or road that needs attention?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We've all been on a summer roadie and experienced first-hand the state of our roads.

If you've ever been stuck in a summer traffic jam, had near-misses on dangerous turns or feared for your life on clifftops (while the car behind you is tail-gating!) - you may have an opinion on this one.

Tell us what main road or highway you think needs some serious attention across the country, and why!

Facebook Marketplace scam

The Team from Nelson, Marlborough, West Coast Police

Police are aware of multiple Facebook Marketplace scams involving sellers who are advertising firewood with no intention of following through with the deal.
Buyers should be wary of sellers requiring full payments before delivery.

Here are some things to consider when making a purchase online:
• First and foremost, we recommend using a reputable online site to buy or sell items.
• Check the social media profile of the seller. Is it a new profile or relatively blank? There's a chance it may be a fake profile.
• Be cautious if you're meeting the seller in person - take precautions where possible.
• Equally, if purchasers are reluctant to meet in person or insist items are dropped off at a location, they may be avoiding being seen or identified.
• Purchasers who are in a rush to complete a transaction.
• Consider cash as a safe alternative to online banking for pickup and pay transactions.

As the saying goes: if it is too good to be true, it probably is.
If you wish to report a social media scam, contact Police on 105 or report it online via 105.police.govt.nz/use-105.
Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
