It's been said that a protester has glued their hands to the road and is needing assistance to be removed.

"Police advise motorists to avoid the area and expect delays."

Handy man-or woman needed

Michael from Tawa

We moved into out new house with our family.
Big as laundry but big as washing machine won't fit.

We're not keen on a front loader but rather change the laundry.

We'd be keen on someone who can help us modify the bench and maybe connect the machine to the hot water tap too.
