Hill Road closures from this Sunday for 5 nights
A reminder that Remutaka Hill road will be closed for five nights from this Sunday night (12 January to Friday morning 17 January,) between 9pm and 4am.
If you have an urgent need to travel over the hill, a limited shuttle service is available. Please email as soon as possible :remutaka@nzta.govt.nz
Having the road fully closed to traffic is critical to ensuring road crew safety while they undertake essential maintenance and slip prevention works to make the road safer. Plan your travel or that of friends and family heading our way to see you .
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
