Mix it up at school pickup

The Team from Hamilton City Council

Schools in Hamilton face the same re-occurring problems when it comes to the issues around their school gates. Congestion, speed, poor parking and general bad driving behaviour seem to intensify out the front of school gates at drop off and pickup times across Hamilton.

Schools in Hamilton face the same re-occurring problems when it comes to the issues around their school gates. Congestion, speed, poor parking and general bad driving behaviour seem to intensify out the front of school gates at drop off and pickup times across Hamilton.

Be a 3pm superhero and mix it up at school pickup. Why not try other transport options?

- Park down the road or around the corner away from the busy school gate
- Walk, bike and scooter at least once or twice a week
- Carpool with families in your area

Let's keep our kids safe .

Plan ahead to stay safe and avoid delays this Labour Weekend

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The NZ Transport Agency has developed a tool that shows predicted traffic flow across popular journeys based on travel patterns from previous years. It can be found here.

Because predicted peak times can change based on incidents, weather and even driver behaviour we suggest that you check hereView more
The NZ Transport Agency has developed a tool that shows predicted traffic flow across popular journeys based on travel patterns from previous years. It can be found here.

Because predicted peak times can change based on incidents, weather and even driver behaviour we suggest that you check here before you leave for accurate information about current road and traffic conditions.

The holiday journeys site shows the busiest areas through Bay of Plenty and Waikato are expected to be the Kaimai Range, State Highway 2 between Paeroa and Waihi and State Highway 2 between Tauranga and Katikati, State Highway 1 north of Hamilton at Taupiri, State Highway 1 south of Cambridge at Karapiro, State Highway 2 at Maramarua and the Coromandel on State Highway 25 at Tairua and Kopu Bridge.

When driving this Labour Weekend, take care to:
- Drive to the conditions, whether it’s the weather, the time of day or amount of traffic
- Take regular breaks to stay alert and ensure fatigue doesn’t affect your driving
- Keep a safe following distance from vehicles in front so you can stop safely
- Be patient - overtaking is unlikely to make a significant difference to your journey time due to the amount of traffic expected over the weekend.
- Allow plenty of time, remember you are on holiday and avoid the need to rush
- Check your car is in good "health" before you head off.

Small injured dog left in gray cat bed on Newton Street last night

Tracy from Ngaruawahia

Hello,
If this is your dog he is at the Anglesea Street vet in Hamilton. After examining him, the vet wouldn't tell me what was wrong with him due to the Privacy Act. They are looking for you to tell you what his condition is first and so you can claim him back. They're giving themselves about a week for you to step forward. Here's the number 07 839 5656.
He was in a lot of pain but they gave him a round of painkillers and he was sleeping peacefully later on. They've kept him overnight and said if there's a chance he can regain his health then the SPCA will look after him. Then if you can't be found he will be adopted out.
We noticed the clean, cosy cat bed he was lying in and your attempts to make him comfortable. It must have been very distressing for you. He has a piercing cry which is what led me to him lying in the catbed you'd placed next to the back wheel of the neighbours car. He probably cried like that all the time you were handling him into the cat bed as he couldn't be moved without shrieking. Poor thing. The both of you.
I'm not mad at you. Who knows what lead to such a bad situation. Bad on bad probably. Hope the dog makes it and that you don't get another one unless your situation improves greatly.

Kia ora water-lovers!

Here are some tips to make sure you and your loved ones are well prepared and stay safe:

1. Check the marine weather forecast before you go out, it could save your life! 58% of boaties already check it. We want the other 42% to make it a habit. MetService New Zealand's Marine App makes it easy.

2. Tests your life jackets. Pull hard on the straps and see if any of them stretch or rip. Check all over for any existing tears in the straps and any cuts or punctures in the life jacket. If yes, do not use the life jacket, dispose of it, and replace it. Always check if it floats before putting them on. Keep in mind kapok life jackets should not be used as they can absorb water and sink, their cotton straps also easily rip! Burn them or bin them, but whatever you do - don't use or resell them.

3. For this year's Safer Boating Week, boaties are being reminded to “Prep, Check, Know” - prepare your boat, check your gear and know the rules before going on the water.

Let's put in the time and effort to make sure there are NO water related accidents or deaths this Labour Day long-weekend! Don't forget to look out for each other and report any concerns you have to local authorities.

Social climbers - the comedy - is touring NZ!

Roger Halls Sparkling Comedy Social Climbers

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.

Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.

Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.
