Headline: Speed Test Trailers to Debut on New Zealand Roadsides, While Job Losses Loom in Tokoroa

The New Zealand Transport Agency has announced the rollout of speed test trailers on roadsides across the country, with the first one set to begin operating in Auckland from tomorrow. Nine more trailers equipped with speed test cameras are set to join the fleet over the coming months.

Meanwhile, in Tokoroa, more than 100 jobs are at risk due to the planned closure of Carter Holt Harvey's plywood manufacturing site. E tu delegate Andrew Dobbs, who has worked at CHH in Tokoroa for 24 years, stated that members are devastated over the plant's shutdown.

The severe weather forecast for New Zealand includes heavy rain and severe gales, which may impact several regions, particularly the South Island and lower North Island.

This news comes as a British aristocrat, Constance Marten, faces trial in London in relation to the death of a newborn baby. However, this story does not pertain to the events in New Zealand.

Stay safe on the roads, and let's hope for the best for those affected by the job losses and severe weather conditions.
