Poll: Is the letterbox obsolete?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With online being the main mode of communication these days, it's no wonder that there has been a worldwide mail decline and here in Aotearoa, NZ Post has needed to lay off 750 full-time staff. Do you think it's time to say goodbye to the trusty letterbox?

POT HOLES whose fault are they really?

Gordon from Halswell

How many people are complaining about Pot Holes?
How many are blaming the council?
How many are blaming the GVT?
The real answer is Stephen Joyce and Bill English who allowed this:
A new permit system allowing heavy vehicles to operate outside the current mass and dimension limits will deliver real gains for both the economy and the travelling public, says Transport Minister Steven Joyce.

The Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Dimensions and Mass Amendment 2010 allows the development of a permit regime for high productivity vehicles to operate above the current 44 tonne weight limit on specified routes. It will come into force on 1 May.

Under the permit regime, trucks will be able to be permitted up to 53 tonnes within their current dimensions. There will also be provision for loads above 53 tonnes but these will only be granted in very specific instances.

New Zealand's freight task is forecast to increase by 70 to 75 percent over the next 25 years and while rail and coastal shipping will play an increasingly important role in meeting the freight task it is expected that the bulk of this increase will be carried on our roads," says Mr Joyce.

WELL GUESS WHAT, they are the main reason for our roads that were never designed for them, crumbling away.
The foundations of the older roads were never strong enough for the constant pummeling of the heavier trucks and trailers but for the sake of "Higher productivity," it was allowed.
This is one of the cases where decisions have been made for the sake of "Business" needs went horribly wrong, and we are left with an infrastructure that can only get worse as National has never spent money on things like Roads, Health, Law and Order, Housing.......unless there is an election looming.!!!
Oh, They will get those potholes looked at (not fixed) within 24 hours. We can sleep in peace.
