Tauroa Road works
Hastings District Council has developed an action plan for Tauroa Road to address concerns raised by members of the public following a spate of recent crashes and close-calls.
Observations made by HDC officers and roading police suggest that vehicles travelling faster than 40km/hr through this section may struggle to stay within their lane, which creates a hazard for ongoing traffic and increases the risk of vehicles leaving the road.
In order to minimise this risk, council will be installing three speed cushions on the road adjacent to the steep drop-off in Tauroa Reserve. This work will take place on 19 and 20 of August between the hours of 7am and 5pm.
Traffic management will be in place to ensure any disruption is kept to a minimum.
Eurovision Song Contest 2024
The 68th Eurovision Song Contest is being held this month in Malmo, Sweden, with an expected 37 countries taking part. The first semi-final is scheduled for next Wednesday, 8 May, and the second semi-final for Friday 10 May, both starting at 7.0 am NZ time, and each lasting about 2 hours.
The grand final will take place on Sunday, 12 May, also starting at 7 am NZ time. But this show can last up to 4 hours, or longer.
The best place to watch any or all of these 3 events, live or later, is on Eurovision’s official YouTube channel. More information can be found on the official website, eurovision.tv... Perhaps this is Switzerland's year to win. But be warned, many of the entries this year are quite loud, as well as there being controversy over Israel's participation (approved by the organisers, the EBU) given the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
