But for some, jury service can be a huge disruption and a financial burden. Do you think changes could be made to our jury service system to address these challenges?

Inattention on the road

To the bloke who thought it was a good idea to fly down Cape Hill Road, Pukekohe at 8am this morning drifting on to the other side of the road.

Did you stop and think how the people in the vehicle you were heading towards felt when seeing you on their side at speed. A mum dropping her three children off to school to see your Audi heading towards them. Whether is was distraction from your phone or just lack of skills on the road spare a thought for others. A mother very upset at what had happened could have ended tragically. Pay attention.

Hello Drury Library friends,

I hope that you are keeping warm and dry as this latest burst of winter weather buffets us, we have had some feedback that some of our users would like to use the library on Saturdays but that our current hours don’t fit in with their other activities. Accordingly we have decided to trial extending our Saturday hours, remaining open from 10.30am until 2pm starting 8th June. We will evaluate the uptake and based on this, continue or revert to our current open hours.

Thanks and we look forward to having you join us at your community library, as always please feel free to provide any feedback especially how you feel the proposed new Saturday hours will impact your use of the library.

Regards

Thunderstorms and strong wind are taking place in Auckland today.

Here's what you need to know:
- A period of severe gale southwesterlies is expected in Auckland and MetService have issued a severe thunderstorm watch and an orange strong wind warning.
- Air NZ is contacting customers booked to fly in and out of Auckland this afternoon, warning of potential flight disruptions due to strong winds forecast to hit the city.
- NZTA warn of strong winds between 10am-12pm today so the Harbour Bridge will have lane reductions, reduced speeds and a 4x4 lane layout. Caution is especially needed for motorcyclists and trucks. NZTA said "Today there is also a possibility that all lanes on the bridge could close temporarily."
- Strong wind gusts could damage trees, powerlines and unsecured structures. Driving may be hazardous, especially for high-sided vehicles and motorcycles.

Be safe, neighbours!
