Hey Neighbours,
Are there any train users here that struggle to find parking at the Pukekohe train station, particularly on Station Rd?

What is the longest distance you've had to park away from the train station?
What problems does this pose for you? (Ie missing the train, getting drenched in the rain)
Do you think having marked angled parking would be better, in terms of fitting more cars into the same amount of space?

Would it be easier than parallel parking?

Hi Neighbours, Sue from Go Dive Center South Auckland/Franklin area.

It sure feels like winter is here but don’t let the cold stop you from diving as that is when the diving heats up with clearer water conditions. We have a great range of 7mm wetsuits and Sharkskin products to keep you warm.
