Slow down around schools and be alert and ready for the sometimes-unpredictable actions of young children.
When leaving your driveway drive out forwards if possible – if you must back, take extra care as children may be walking or scooting along the footpath (perhaps even give a toot as a warning).
Watch out and be prepared to stop at crossings – some of these are controlled by school patrols.
Stop and park legally and away from the school gate – it is illegal to stop or park on broken yellow lines.
If you are driving your children to school make sure your child is in a child restraint and it is correctly fitted.
For more information about child restraints check out https://www.nzta.govt.nz/safety/what-waka-kotahi-is-doing/education-initiatives/child-restraints/

"Back in the 1970's I got to know National Forest Service Photographer John Johns. John was a phenomenal photographer, who was both technically and creatively brilliant. John was a true gentleman. He shared his knowledge freely too.
One of his many amazing photos was a Kotuku in flight, however his photo was very different to other Kotuku photos I had seen. It was the white bird against a white sky, and in Black and White. It was a beautiful piece of art and showed The Kotuku, our White Herons features so precisely.
John Johns along with Geoff Moon would be our greatest ever wildlife bird photographers. They largely worked with film, creating images in a darkroom, and shooting with manual lenses, They respected their environment immensely.
This Kotuku photo, taken yesterday, is a tribute to John, and what he taught me all those years ago. I was very fortunate to have John and Geoff, who both passed away some years ago now, as friends and mentors".
Pleased that the two fires in Upper Hutt were controlled finally today. One of them made breaking news.
I wonder if they were connected or was it just coincidental?

This means there is a ban on sprinklers and irrigation systems. You can use handheld watering devices at any time, on any day, so long as you don't leave them unattended.
These restrictions are essential to ensure we have enough water to supply the entire region. This follows the recent warm and dry weather, a significant spike in water use, and dropping river levels.

It is now bigger and bolder and stretching its array of market place items and the increase in cutomer attendance is fully warranted.
Good that Brewtown has alligned itself to presenting quality to the public in all aspects. The New Year Eve party under the marquee was another example.
