NZTA Traffic Bulletin - Expect delays and detours on State Highway 5 in Rotorua this weekend

The team from Rotorua Lakes Council

People who use State Highway 5 Old Taupo Road can expect delays while resurfacing work is carried out on the road this Saturday.

The resurfacing will take place at three sites between Hillcrest Rd and Springfield Rd.

The NZ Transport Agency says detours will be in place but people should avoid the area or expect delays.

If the weather isn’t ideal on Saturday the work could be carried out Sunday.

Once the work is complete traffic management will remain in place to allow the sealing chip to bed in.

Motorists can get real time information from:

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
