Heavy vehicles travelling inside the city zone

Roger from Central Whangarei

Tena koe Roger,

Thank you for your patience while I investigated your concerns.

It is my understanding that you have spoken with Whangarei District Council staff about this issue in the past. Our staff have informed me that Whangarei District Council cannot restrict Heavy Commercial Vehicles from using the Town Basin route. There are No Engine Breaking signs, however they are not enforceable.

I understand this may not be the response you were hoping for, however we will not be enforcing any new restrictions on trucks in the Town Basin area at this time.

Please contact myself or my Executive Assistant, Elsa should you have any further questions –

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
