Severe Weather Warning
Parts of the North Island are expected to be hit by heavy rain and severe gales tomorrow, as Cyclone Fili reaches New Zealand. MetService has issued a severe weather warning, and we’re bracing ourselves for the possibility of outages across the network.
Be sure to keep mobile phones charged and ensure you have a car charger for your devices so you can keep in touch and keep informed. It also may pay to have a torch handy (they are safer than candles which can be a fire hazard) and have a gas bottle topped up for cooking.
Civil Defence Northland has good guidelines for being prepared, staying safe, and putting together an emergency survival and getaway kit here: nrc.govt.nz/civildefence.

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?
