We’re here to remind you about what to do when you see, or hear, an emergency services vehicle responding under lights and sirens.
When seconds count, it can save lives.

We’ve had recent examples where drivers completely ignore the Police vehicle behind them. Other drivers slow right down without safely pulling over, and delay Police from responding to emergency situations.
Please help us by allowing our team to get to those in need, so we can save lives.
Top tips when an emergency services vehicle approaches with lights and sirens:
🚑 You are required by law to pull to the side of the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
🚔 If the lights and siren of the Police vehicle continue past you, you can resume your journey.
🚒 Make sure you check the road is clear before moving on.

I have decided in the interests of everyone, that an overall discount for Selected Owner Discounts should be applied rather than just a Gold Card Discount at this stage. It must be appreciated the Mayor has taken over the debacle left by the Commissioners. He is totally aware of the feelings of the People of Tauranga and more so after our meeting. With regard to only going with Selected Owner Discounts rather than Gold Card, more people are Guardians of dogs than just Gold Card holders so in fairness, this is why I am pushing for the Selected Owner Discounts. The will benefit everyone. Tauranga is still recovering from the Commissioners intervention and we must allow the Mayor time to sort this. He said that I had raised some good points which he has taken on board. There is a meeting tomorrow with Council members and further meetings are planned before the next dog registrations are due. The Mayor said that they planned to have this issue put out to the public for public consultation and it is in everyone's best interest to be part of this. I for one, will be attending any consultative meetings. I went into the meeting knowing that this will not be a quick fix but we have started the process which has trust me, been taken on board and taken seriously. Council will also be looking at the overall running of how the Pound is run and after meeting him personally, I know he will do this. Thank you Everyone for your support and I will continue to do everything I can for you.
