Let's make sure we all arrive alive to where we need to go by following these four simple and proven road safety actions:
- Make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
- Remove distractions and stay focused on driving
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking or are tired
- Drive at a safe speed for the conditions
With severe and changeable weather forecast for across the country the following winter driving tips are equally important as well.
The only way we can reduce unnecessary road deaths and injuries is by working together to be safe, considerate and alert on the roads. If you spot dangerous driving behaviour or urgent but not life threatening driving incidents you can report it to the New Zealand Police by calling *555 for free from any mobile device.
Have a great long weekend!

Undertaken by the National Research Bureau, the Communitrak survey poses a series of questions about Council services and facilities to a random selection of 300 residents. The survey results, in combination with other information sources, allow the Council to assess community perceptions about service quality, spending priorities and community issues.
General Manager Strategy and Economic Development, Julie Gardyne, says that while the Council's normal community engagement activities provide useful information about stakeholder perceptions, the annual survey provides "a reliable measure of the wider community's views and helps to highlight any positive or negative trends".
The survey process will take about a week to complete and involves telephone interviews with respondents from across the District's four community board areas, on a population pro-rata basis. Interviews can take up to 20 minutes to complete.
The 2019 survey results will also be supplemented by more detailed information provided by 30 face-to-face interviews.
Ms Gardyne says the survey results are expected to be completed in early-August and will be made available on the Council website.
