Mairangi Village Traffic Safety Petition Update

John Bower - Barfoot & Thompson Mairangi Bay

After many months of frustration trying to establish the process for submitting our petition I finally, as you will see below, have had some meaningful contact with Auckland Transport. Hopefully that translates to a meaningful outcome for our village.
I will keep you posted.
Kind regards
John

Hi John,
There are many concerns raised, which require extensive investigation and survey. Once we have completed our investigation and survey, we will come back to you with our recommendations. We aim to response within 3 months or earlier.
We will liaise with you if we need any further information and your valuable local knowledge of the area.
Thanks for raising your concerns with AT.

Hi Wayne

Thank you for your email of 30 March.

It is certainly encouraging to see Auckland Transport will be undertaking an extensive investigation and survey.

The Village has many dynamics within any day and also within any day of the week. I trust AT is aware of this and will develop an investigative programme capable of capturing all relevant information.

I would certainly be available for any input as I am sure would the business operators in particular those in close proximity to the danger spots. As an example. The staff at Hartleys would be able to give accurate descriptions of the incidents they witness on the pedestrian crossing.

Many thanks for your notice of commitment which I will circulate.

Kind regards

John

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?

The Doctors

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
