Kaituna Road in Maketu closed

Communications from Western Bay of Plenty District Council

Kaituna Road in Maketu will be closed for several months due to bridge maintenance.
Work began on the first of four bridges earlier this month and will be completed later in February. Similar work will be required on the other three bridges and contractors anticipate each bridge will take about five weeks to complete.

The main detour route is via Kelly Road and Te Tumu Rd. This should allow most people to access their properties as only one bridge is being taken down at a time. Access will be allowed through the traffic management if no physical access is possible in any other direction.

Enquiries can be made to WestLink phone 07 577 4680

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.
