Hi neighbours, a sad morning for those in Kensington. A child has died after being hit with a truck on Kamo Rd. Road closures have caused delays in the surrounding areas, including SH1 through Whangārei. A controlled pedestrian crossing is currently being built near the crash site.
NZTA priorities mean four Whangārei projects will not go ahead, including two intersection improvements to help access to the under-construction Hundertwasser Art Centre. What do you think? (Please put NFP if your comments are not for publication)

Hearty gameday choices include blue cheese dip, fried camembert with paprika and parsley, halloumi chips with dukkah, chicken, spring onion and vintage cheddar pizza and impossible to fail Harvati quiche.
So stop off at the chiller section of the supermarket to stock up on quality Mainland cheeses to help craft and create some delicious snacks. Then no matter how your team plays, your friends will go home happy.

What can we do to convince the Whangarei District Council to ban heavy trucks from our suburbs and from downtown and enforce the use of SH1 instead?
Every day and night heavy trucks are thundering up and down through Kamo village, down Kamo road. They know they should use the bypass, but they don't. We all know the companies, most trucks carry names.
Often they continue their path through Kensington and Regent past the Hatea river, though the inner city to Port road.
Along Kamo road alone we have several big and small schools, Primary and Intermediate as well as Early childhood centres.
How many more children have to die?
Other NZ towns make the use of bypasses compulsory for heavy traffic - why don't we? The town roads are not built for the weight of the heavy trucks anyway and require repairs constantly!
Any thoughts, my neighbours?
