Kerikeri Domain in spotlight

A public meeting about the future of Kerikeri Domain is being held from 5.30pm this Thursday in the St John Ambulance hall on Kerikeri Rd. The meeting follows on from a deputation to a Far North District Council meeting in October and will give Kerikeri residents a chance to learn more about the newly adopted 2019 Reserve Management Plan and discuss options for the Domain's future management and use. The event will be hosted by the recently formed Friends of the Domain group and the Kerikeri Residents and Ratepayers Association.

Ditch tips truck

Not a banana skin but a roadside ditch appears to have been the undoing of a rubbish truck which tipped on to its side near Ruakākā yesterday. The accident occurred about 10am near the intersection of Takahiwai, McEwan and One Tree Pt roads. No injuries were reported.

Ambulance officers and fire crews called to help supported the teen in the water until a Northland Emergency Services Trust helicopter was able to winch him clear.
