Oteramika / Rockdale Rd/ Tweed str Roundabout new.
On my walk this morning trying to take in the last of these beautiful summery days before the onset of winter chills drives us indoors I noticed a sign at the corner where Tweed crosses Rockdale Rd and turns into Oteramika Rd . By standing there I was able to read it , not that anyone in a car might , something about they are soon to start making this corner into a roundabout and to expect delays / detours . Next time I walk / ride past I shall check the expected start times but the heat from the sun forced me to seek shade before I melted. I think it was in a couple of weeks. I was too busy thinking that will make that an interesting corner now seeing as some truck and trailor units , plus other vehicles , are still doing 100 k's when they hit that junction. Of course it may aid those that are fleeing Police that seem to love Tweed as their escape route making it Russian Roulette at that corner. Enjoy the sun while you can .
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?
