POLICE----Don’t be a ‘bad egg’ this Easter long weekend

Brian from Mount Roskill

Police are on a hunt for bad eggs this Easter.
Across the Auckland region, Police will be rolled out and on the lookout for poor driving behaviour putting others at risk.

Across the Auckland region, Police will be rolled out and on the lookout for poor driving behaviour putting others at risk.
Tāmaki Makaurau Road Policing Manager, Inspector Scott Webb, says everyone can play a part in keeping the roads safe.
“It will come as no surprise to us Aucklanders that the roads leading north and south of the city will be busy,” he says.
“Easter is traditionally the last long weekend with the warmer weather, and many people look to take advantage of extra days off.”
Inspector Webb says it pays to be prepared and patient before heading out over the weekend.
Expect to see Police visible across the roads and motorway network, working to prevent unsafe behaviours and enforcing the law.
“It’s all about drivers and road users making simple decisions to keep themselves and others safe, “Inspector Webb says.
“We would rather you overindulge in chocolate and hot cross buns, rather than alcohol.
“Police will be carrying out checkpoints across many locations, so don’t be surprised if you are stopped and breath tested.”
Make sure everyone, including your sweet precious cargo, is safely restrained when travelling to your destination, Inspector Webb says.
“We want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable Easter,” Inspector Webb says.
“We, along with our road safety partners at NZTA and Auckland Transport, can all play a part in reducing road trauma and the devastating impacts it has on families.”
Top tips:
=======
• Plan your trip, allow plenty of time, and check the NZTA website for essential travel updates: www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz...
• Eyes on the road – and not your devices
• Take a second – split-second decisions to drive after drinking can be life changing
• Kids onboard? Make sure they’re in the correct child restraint seats
State Highway One through the Brynderwyn Hills will also temporarily re-open for the long weekend from 12.01am on Thursday 28 March to 11.59pm on Tuesday 2 April, for travellers heading to or from Northland.

Evie is a 14 year old grey tortie - quite pretty colouring (mainly grey with caramel) with some cream on her chest. No white on her at all. She has been missing since 16 November, 2023.

Please take a screenshot of this post so you have photos and my number handy in case you see her.

She likes people but might not let you pick her up so please take a video or photo if you see her and call me asap on 021 072 0933 (Anna).

She’s quite lean and small to medium size. When she’s happy she ‘talks’ ❤️ De-sexed and microchipped.

Last seen in Mont Le Grand Rd, Mt Eden. Please check your garage, shed, garden and under deck and house.

Apparently cats who are hiding don’t meow so please look carefully even if you don’t hear her. Thank you so much 🙏

In this hands-on workshop, we will show you how to make your own vegetable stock powder - one with only as much salt as you want, in parts using vegetables and herbs that might otherwise go to waste.
You'll learn about the ingredients and we go through the process step by step. We will begin the session with information on food dehydrators and vegetables that can be used, before we get hands-on to prepare and dehydrate some together.

Then we will make the powder (using vegetables I dehydrated beforehand). Before you leave with a small sample you'll have a chance to taste the glorious stock.
We will also talk about the many other options how to use this to flavour up any (bland) foods.

Wednesday April 10th, 5.30pm to 7.30pm, Sandringham Community Centre, 18 -20 Kitchener Road, Sandringham.

Participation costs: $25-35 self-assessed sliding
Tickets available at
events.humanitix.com......
Sponsored and supported by SPiCE
Another inspiring event happening at Albert-Eden & Puketāpapa Eco Festival, running all through April.
