If you haven't already voted, please visit the link below.
For analysis of the changes, please visit this link at our website: bit.ly.... While we accept that this is a safety improvement, it isn't a fix for congestion. In fact, it will divert 1200 vehicles along the already congested State Highway 1 and Whitaker Road. We recommend that you vote "No" because technically that is the most fact-based answer.
A cyclist without a licence was given a $150 fine and demerits for running a stop sign.

Simplifying the number of movements may well be less confusing, & is worth trialing, but surely NOW is not the time to try this out! I assume that we are targeting the busy summer holiday commuters. many of whom will have no idea about this until they actually get to the said intersection & find that they can no longer access the township where they had planned to do so. What a recipe for disaster! I think the resulting confusion & frustration will be dangerous to say the least.
Surely these changes should be brought in with several months of media input (radio/Herald/Rodney Times etc) & not until the winter months when weekend traffic flow is at it's quietest. At least consider the timing of this trial, before you vote. It may be a great idea, but is it a great idea starting in a week?????

If you already 'love golf' you will enjoy getting advice and support from the professionals and have the unique opportunity of watching the Anita Boon Pro Am participants warming up.
The morning will begin with a bit of mixing and mingling with a few of the She Loves Golf Ambassadors and then we will move to the driving range, putting green and practice areas to get some tips from the Pros. In golfing tradition, we will finish our golfing experience in the 19th hole (the club-rooms) enjoying some delicious food and beverages.
All equipment is provided so all you need to do is turn up in your trainers and have some fun.

For some older people Halloween can be a frightening and scary time so here are some helpful tips so everyone can enjoy themselves and come away with fond memories:
- Make it a family affair and go trick or treating with your kids or a group from your neighbourhood.
- Call your neighbours in advance to make sure it’s okay to call in to trick-or-treat
- If you don’t want trick-or-treaters calling print or make a sign for your letterbox or window saying no thanks. (New Zealand Police have had downloadable signs)
- If you are a trick-or-treater, respect the people who have a sign asking for you to stay away
- Keep your lights on and guests outside
- Keep your eye out for your older family members, friends and neighbours this Halloween and make sure we all get to enjoy the celebration.
Remember you can help make this a great celebration for your family and community and a great opportunity to connect with your older neighbours.
If you want to go one step further Age Concern New Zealand would like to encourage all Kiwis to sign up to their Dignity Champion Campaign to show a commitment to breaking down ageism and stereotypes and encouraging dignity and respect for older people.
Become an Age Concern Dignity Champion www.ageconcern.org.nz... this Halloween and involve and celebrate the older people in your lives.
