Local so keen for Medallion Drive extension to open, they unofficially opened it themself

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Harbour News

Kia ora neighbours. A local was so keen for the Medallion Drive extension road to open, they snuck out at night and unofficially opened it themself.

Auckland Transport has been working on a $10 million extension to Medallion Drive in Albany on the North Shore since June 2020.

The project was expected to be complete by mid-2021, however it is now expected to open in early April, an Auckland Transport spokeswoman confirmed.

Locals on social media recently questioned why the Medallion Drive link road had not yet opened, as it had looked completed for several weeks, with minimal activity from contractors.

On Friday night, some locals got an exclusive preview, when someone took it upon themself to remove the barriers and unofficially open the road.

Auckland Transport have labelled this person's actions as "dangerous".

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
