Heavy rain and road closures
The Coromandel Ranges are expected to get a dumping of 100mm to 140mm of rain as heavy rains sweep towards Northland.
What you need to know:
- State Highway 25A in the Coromandel has been closed until further notice, due to instability caused by heavy rain.
- The Tapu-Coroglen and 309 roads are also closed.
- A detour route is in place - State Highway 25 around the edge of the peninsula and State Highway 2 via Karangahake Gorge.
Motorists should expect longer travel times using the detour route, and advised to drive with caution at this time.
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?
