Hi neighbours,

It's time to have your say on plans to boost safety at the Coatesville Riverhead Highway intersection with Barrett Rd, Riverhead.

Consultation on a planned right turn bay closes on December 22.

The change comes after public pleas to improve safety at the intersection which has only one lane in each direction.

Cars turning right onto Barrett Rd block the lane and can cause gridlocks.

The new right turning bay aims to ease traffic flow.

Hi Auckland,

Would you be put off by a health warning at your favourite swimming spot?

Around 100 popular swimming locations across the country have been slapped with health warnings for the summer season.

Local councils reported long-term poor water quality due to the presence of algal blooms and high concentrations of sediment in popular swimming spots like Lake Rotorua, Waikanae Beach and Paraparaumu Beach. Other sites have had consistently scored so low that local councils have stopped monitoring them and have instead posted long-term warning signs against swimming there.

Swimmers that ignore signs risk gastrointestinal illnesses and respiratory diseases from water made unsafe by farm runoff, sewage contamination and high bacteria counts.
