Recreational swimming alert
⚠️ We know it’s super humid out there right now and that our rivers and beaches can be an enticing way to cool off however, we always suggest you avoid swimming in these areas for 2-3 days after heavy rain.
LAWA is currently showing all of our monitored river and coastal sites as either an orange alert 🟠 (caution advised) or a red alert 🔴 (avoid swimming). Please check the latest results for your favourite spot before you go 👉🏼 www.lawa.org.nz...
And, don't forget you can visit our local splash pads, pools and aquatic centre for cooling off.💧

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.
