NZ Transport Agency (NZTA)

Hi neighbours, a heads-up that we’re carrying out essential maintenance on State Highway 1 between Pokeno and Hampton Downs from 9pm-5am for periods between 27 March – 17 May. Traffic will be able to travel in both
directions using contraflow and the following signposted detours:

• Northbound Mercer to Pokeno. Detour via Great South Road or Helenslee Road, Pokeno township
• Southbound Island Block Road to Springhill Road (Meremere) - Detour via Te Puea Ave
• Southbound Pokeno North off-ramp to Pioneer Road South SB intersection. Detour via Great South Road or Helenslee Road, Pokeno township

Thanks for your support during this time.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
