Traffic safety
Just a suggestion. If you are turning right, across traffic, at peak time…don’t. Te Mata Rd has plenty of roundabouts. Use them to get onto the right side of the road to turn left into the streets you want to get to. I.e Hereworth School.
Don’t stop at the top of cul de sacs (especially Nimon St on the broken yellow lines) and don’t do U turns in peak traffic. Especially on Nimon St. The road is only 200m long with roundabouts at each end.
And for everyone’s sake and safety don’t stop in intersections, especially roundabouts. You cause traffic jams.
You’ll get where you are going, faster, if you follow these simple safety guides. Some of which also happen to be road rules.
Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Books wanted
Does anyone have any Alexandre Dumas books they don’t want anymore?
I absolutely love the stories but have only experienced them on screen. Especially The Three Musketeers. I’ve just binge watched the latest series for the second time in 2 months.
Resurfacing of the Porter Drive/Te Aute Road roundabout and then Porter Drive/Middle Road intersection in Havelock North
Resurfacing of the Porter Drive/Te Aute Road roundabout and then Porter Drive/Middle Road intersection in Havelock North is scheduled to be completed over 3 days, Monday 20 May - Wednesday 22 May.
All work will be completed between the hours of 9:00am to 3:00pm. During this time, traffic will be detoured safely around the site and delays are to be expected. See detour maps below.
We would appreciate it if the roadway could be kept clear of any parked vehicles while the crew is onsite working.
