Caution: Lower Buller Gorge traffic signals stolen

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The NZ Transport Agency is asking people on the West Coast and in Buller District to take extreme care driving through the Lower Buller Gorge for the next month or so. The equipment for the traffic signals controlling the one-way traffic through the narrow Fern Arch area were stolen at the end of last week.

The signals and equipment are in an area with no power supply. The theft raises the safety risk for drivers on this part of the highway.

Replacement parts will take at least four weeks to arrive and are expected to cost $30,000-40,000. Anyone with any details should contact NZTA – phone 0800 4 HIGHWAYS.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
