Traffic safety
Just a suggestion. If you are turning right, across traffic, at peak time…don’t. Te Mata Rd has plenty of roundabouts. Use them to get onto the right side of the road to turn left into the streets you want to get to. I.e Hereworth School.
Don’t stop at the top of cul de sacs (especially Nimon St on the broken yellow lines) and don’t do U turns in peak traffic. Especially on Nimon St. The road is only 200m long with roundabouts at each end.
And for everyone’s sake and safety don’t stop in intersections, especially roundabouts. You cause traffic jams.
You’ll get where you are going, faster, if you follow these simple safety guides. Some of which also happen to be road rules.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

New neighbour
Okay folks, if you feed your animals outside, you might want to rethink that. We have new nocturnal neighbours, inside Havelock North.
There is a very well fed brush tail possum up the pōhutukawa tree in my garden.
I don’t know where it’s come in from, but it’s in the middle of a residential neighbourhood, so keep an eye on your pet doors, open windows and doors and pet food.
I’ll be notifying council and DOC tomorrow.
