E Coli found at Urenui river
People are being warned against taking shellfish from the Urenui river mouth and to avoid the area's mud flats after high levels of E Coli bacteria were discovered.
People are advised to avoid going near pipes in the area and wash their hands if they have been near the mudflats. Swimming is considered safe unless there has been heavy rain in the previous three days.
The Urenui walking bridge between the village and the beach is currently closed.

Certified copies of documents
Sometimes you need a certified copy of a document. This means that an authorised person signs the document to confirm that it is a true copy of the original.
This is one of the services provided by a Justice of the Peace (JP). There is a JP in attendance at our New Plymouth office on Monday mornings.
This service is free, and no appointment is necessary.
If Monday mornings don't suit, check with us about when a JP is available at other locations.
