Does anyone know anything about this????

Steve from Casebrook

This sign appeared on the footpath at the entrance to Sonia Place, Casebrook on Monday midmorning. As you can see it gives a Day and a Half notice of the closure of Sonia Place. The number on the sign is for Wilson Signs who produced it for HEB Construction. When HEB was contacted the young lady was unable to give any information about it. Looking at the Council site it shows Royleen St, Marlene St, Sonia Place and Penelope Place are due to be resurfaced in the coming year.
At no time has there been any communication from either the council or HEB Construction regarding any planned roadwork in the area.
The closure means there will be no traffic allowed into or out of the affected area from the 6th (today ) until the 22nd - this includes Tradesmen coming to do a job, Grocery deliveries, Couriers etc.
Is this another instance of the arrogance and lack of communication by our City Council as well as their appointed Contractors?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

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 ❤️
