Safety first

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Not all roundabouts are created equal.

The roundabout at the entrance to our little village, by Mary Doyle is not like others.
Vehicles coming off the bridge have right of way, not vehicles coming from the village.

Vehicles coming off the bridge have right of way, not vehicles coming from the village.

I had a very close call, this evening, coming home from town. A vehicle coming from the village didn’t stop, or even look as they went around the roundabout. I came within a few inches of their passenger door. Thankfully I don’t speed and have a good vehicle.

Just remember to check the traffic signs, please. Don’t assume everywhere is all the same.

The Best Backyard Build winner

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It was a very hard decision but we've chosen our winner of the Best Backyard Build as Todd Haswell of Raureka. Congratulations, Todd!

His entry reads:

It was a very hard decision but we've chosen our winner of the Best Backyard Build as Todd Haswell of Raureka. Congratulations, Todd!

His entry reads:
A couple of years ago my wife said "Can you make me a cuppa tea area down the back? Something with a cover over it."
Me being a graphic artist by trade, I went overboard and made this. Most of the timber is offcuts or leftover from years of not throwing anything out. The doors are from the old Napier Hospital. The two side ones open up on top like stable doors. At night lights come on in the windows (solar), which makes it look like a little house. However the back wall is the centre door.

We think his entry is very creative and impressive. Give this post a Like if you agree!

This wraps up our Backyard Awards - we hope you enjoyed taking part and seeing your neighbour's creations.
