Possible Sight Impaired Driver Warning!!!
To the owner of the dark metallic blue Ford Ranger, number plate SLUGZ, parked in the area on Butlers Lane behind the 4 Square, Butlers Reef etc. I am very concerned about your fitness to be driving, given that you have parked on top of the footpath and walkway to the cemetery access point. If you are unable to see that the strip of concrete with a kerb and yellow squares for sight impaired people and to know that this is a crossing as well as a footpath then you probably shouldn't be driving! How about being considerate to non-drivers and leaving the foothpath clear in the future!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
