SH1 Tarewa Road intersection improvements - bylaw consultation
There is a council news article on page 8 in today's Whangarei Leader about a bylaw consultation to disallow right turns from Tarewa Road into SH1 northbound in the future, once the intersection improvement work has been completed. The article states that NZTA is calling for submissions on that bylaw change but only provides NZTA's home page as an information source, and if we click on the article itself in the online edition of the Leader it takes us to the WDC home page instead. This is of course not very helpful, so for those of us who wish to be heard or make a submission on the bylaw change, here's the relevant page on NZTA's website.
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.
