Driving Carefully on our roads

Tony from Onerahi

Just hope everyone drive to the conditions of the roads watch for turning cars and other things on the road.
Yesterday was a very lucky day for two cars on Riverside Drive around 2pm on Monday.


It was great some nice lady stop to help, even if it was to allow another person to sit in their car until the ambulance turn ups. Someone with a large first aid kit and large fire extinguisher.
There was "caring" from the person who said sorry a few times...from one of the cars that was involved. It was nice to hear.

It was good to see so many Police and Fire services with two Ambulances who came to help.

The sad thing I want to get to is how "dumb" are drivers who goes past a accident who doesn't slow down when someone with a high vis vest waves their hands to slow down the car/s just speed past. How many of you were those car who didn't know to SLOW DOWN?

I'm glad that everyone wasn't hurt to bad as being a first responder at the scene.

Hey please drive slow past an accident, if you have any skills please stop and help. Thanks to all the others who did stop to help it shows we do have a caring community.
Thanks Tony Gill

What should the rules be for alcohol in public?

The Team from Whangarei District Council

We have some proposed amendments to the Alcohol Control Bylaw, and we want to know what you think:
🍷 Have your say on the Alcohol Control Bylaw

The bylaw allows us to ban alcohol completely from specific locations, during certain times of the day, or during certain times of the year. The bans need to reflect the times and places where alcohol causes problems, and can be enforced by police. Only public places are affected by these rules, not homes or licensed premises.

In the new proposal, the city centre alcohol ban would be expanded to include the carparks at Okara Shopping Centre, Cobham Oval and under Te Matau a Pohe bridge. An alcohol ban would also be introduced at Tarewa Park.

We also propose to lift the existing blanket coastal ban that applies to public places within 300m of the mean low tide mark, and narrow the alcohol bans at Oakura, Whananaki North, Whananaki South, Matapōuri/Whale Bay and Pataua North and South - changing the ban from 24 hours a day to just at night time (between 7:00pm and 7:00am).

We appreciate your input to choose appropriate new rules!
