Summer road maintenance accelerates in Northland

Before Christmas crews completed 133 kms of road re-sealing in Northland, but another 97 kms are planned before the end of summer.
Maintenance work will continue on all state highways in Northland, but a large part of the work in January will take place in the northern part of the region between Awanui and Kaikohe and across to Paihia. Read more
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
