Road Seal Downgrading Continues
Under current council/AT and NZTA policy, all suburban roads that carry less than 10,000 vehicles per day will be chip sealed.
The method of chip sealing is often to use small, loose stones that are not pre-coated in bitumen, so spread everywhere. AT contractors will sweep the roads a couple of times under their contract, but it is then up to neighbours to request further sweeps from AT as required (sweeping is often required for several months to several years).
Auckland Transport will be chip sealing the following roads from Tuesday 17 October to Sunday 10 October:
* Crocombe Crescent, Beach Haven
* Flaxdale Street, Birkdale
* Frizell Street, Beach Haven
* Hobby Avenue, Birkdale
* Ivy Place, Birkdale
* Segedin Place, Glenfield
* St Peters Street, Northcote
* Stanaway Street, Hillcrest
* Totara Grove, Hillcrest
* Verran Road, Birkdale
* Waverly Avenue, Glenfield
Hours: 7am-7pm
Contingency dates: from Monday 24 October to Sunday 30 October.
(Some of the above roads were originally scheduled to be chip sealed in September, but were deferred to now).
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
