Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Long-term road safety data from NZTA suggests speed limits on almost 90 per cent of the country's roads are too high and should be lowered.

Long-term road safety data from NZTA suggests speed limits on almost 90 per cent of the country's roads are too high and should be lowered.

In 2019 so far, 172 people have been killed on New Zealand's roads, six more than at the same time last year.

Ministry of Transport data for 2016, the most recent available on its website, makes for sobering reading – 328 deaths from 286 fatal road crashes, or 0.9 deaths for every 10,000 vehicles.

Is your school feeling the relief teacher shortage?

Josephine Franks Reporter from Whangārei Leader

Kia ora neighbours. A Northland principal says schools could be left with no choice but to send children home from school if the shortage of relief teachers gets any worse. How would you feel if your school did that?

Poll: Is it time to raise New Zealand's superannuation age?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Outgoing Retirement Commissioner Diane Maxwell has been outspoken about the need to increase the pension age from 65.

"You used to get super for five years, then 10 and now 20 - soon it'll be 30. I'm not sure how we can fund people getting super for 30 years or more."

Outgoing Retirement Commissioner Diane Maxwell has been outspoken about the need to increase the pension age from 65.

"You used to get super for five years, then 10 and now 20 - soon it'll be 30. I'm not sure how we can fund people getting super for 30 years or more."

New Zealand has one of the simplest pension schemes in the world - all you have to do is be old enough and have lived in the country long enough and you can get it.

But that also makes it expensive - about $14.5 billion this year. Jobseeker benefits, by comparison, cost just $1.7b and sole parent support $1.08b.

Hello everyone our Whangarei District Council has made an official opening date for the new revamp drainage of the dog park.. Wednesday 29th May at 8 am.

The Whangarei District Council says; "Thank you to all dog owners for your patience over the last three months while the drainage work was completed."

Hopefully this week the council will be finishing a few repairs to make sure the dog park is one of the leading dog parks in New Zealand.... at $250.000.00 revamp come down for your inspection to see how your money was spent.

The photos of the water are still current issues to be fixed. photos from last week rain shower. Are you disappointed that the council hasn't done the job fully? .
