Vaughan's Road to Te Oneroa or Ridgelea Rd a No Brainer
There has been limited publicity or discussion alerting ratepayer's and residence surrounding opening up Vaughan's Rd to Long Bay & Torbay by connecting either of the two options above is a no brainer, maybe that's the issue , the limited awareness is mostly driven by a few concerned & intelligent ratepayers, the main question is where are our local leaders, from any of the National Party, Act, or Labour, your all so quiet when practicality and commonsense is required, lets get an alternative to Glenvar Rd open NOW
Speaking of which, what's up with the major repair work presently being undertaken on Glenvar Road, please inform the thousands of residence who are affected by the ineptitude of Waka Kotahi which decision maker (please stand up) within Waka Kotahi decided that while the road lets not use our common sense and proceed with the long overdue 15yr plan to straighten and align Glenvar with Lonely Track, put in the Traffic Lights, and carry out your civic duty to do the best possible job that you've been elected to do, surely this is a "no Brainer"
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
