One was acting as a spotter. A truck arrived overhead some time later and proceeded to dump rocks into the river bed. The spotter noticed this, and our staff were able to escape the area unharmed. The Far North District Council, who contracted this work, are investigating to find out the identity of the contractors and address the issue with them. • Near miss: There was an incident of road rage where one of our staff members felt it necessary to call 111. A driver threw out a piece of rubbish in front of them when they were driving. When our staff member pulled up at the traffic lights, they asked him why he threw out his rubbish. It was at this stage the driver got aggressive. After abusing our staff member, he followed them, driving erratically and dangerously. The driver did end up turning off leaving our staff member to return to the Whangārei office. • Incident: While at traffic lights a member of public tried to squeeze passed the rear of one our council vehicles and a traffic island to get into a turning lane. The driver scrapped their ID: A1294601 5 Council Meeting ITEM: 3.0 17 March 2020 vehicle while doing this. No one was harmed and the damage to the council
