Wakefield Specialist Centre Newtown - warning it's difficult to find!

Charlotte from Khandallah

Just a shout out to anyone with a referral to the above in Newtown - it's difficult to find (or at least we found it so). Luckily we had just enough time to get there for an ultrasound scan but the referral form didn't give a street address and we don't have smartphones. We drove up and down Rintoul St and around the block, and in the end asked help from a helpful pedestrian - it was on the other side of the road and back several metres. There was new fencing and an impressive block building but no signage whatsoever to indicate what the building was. We've been there several times for ultrasounds and X-rays but it was nothing like we remembered. The receptionist told us we weren't unique and she had many similar comments from others with the same complaint and asked us to fill in a feedback form which we did. (And a smartphones wouldn't have helped either!)

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
