Back to school
Tomorrow marks the return to school of hundreds of children across the region. Please be mindful that between 8-9am and 3-4pm there will be children walking, biking, scootering, travelling by car or bus to and from school. Take care and keep that speed down. Watch out for children appearing from behind cars and make sure to stop at pedestrian crossings to let them cross safety.

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
