Are you getting it right at roundabouts?
It’s simple when you know what to do.
Always:
• slow down and be prepared to give way
• be in the correct lane for where you want to go
• give way to all vehicles that will cross your path from the right as you enter the roundabout
• indicate correctly as you enter and leave the roundabout (as shown below).
In the last year 30% of all crashes in Porirua City happened at intersections:
• 18 crashes at Kenepuru/Titahi Bay roundabout
• 17 crashes at Paremata roundabout.
Please stay alert at intersections and take another look before you proceed.

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!

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?
