The countdown to the 2020 IRONMAN New Zealand is on! With the event taking place on Saturday, March 7 please be aware of the road closures that will be in effect over the weekend. As shown on the map, the best way to get around on race day will be via the ETA, Centennial Drive, Spa Road and Napier Road.

Please be aware Broadlands Road will also be closed, which will include the ETA off-ramp at Broadlands Road. Our landfill on Broadlands Road will be closed for the day.

Please take extra care on the roads this week, keep an eye out for cyclists and runners and on the day of the event make sure you look out for signage and detours to help you get around safely. Thanks everybody!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
