Sneak Peek at Hellyers Creek Reserve bridges!
Here's another sneak peek - two new bridges at Hellyers Creek Reserve, Beach Haven!
The Hellyers Creek Reserve track goes around the coast from Shepherds Park to Beach Haven Rd. The Kaipātiki Local Board is upgrading the entire route, making it step-free. The first section that will be opened goes from Shepherds Park to Paragon Ave, and includes the two new bridges pictured.
Last week local board member Tim Spring and I were given a walkthrough by the contractors and it's going to be fabulous. A huge improvement over the steep, gnarly steps.
Some work has also started on the next section, which goes from Paragon Ave through to the end of Lancaster Rd and includes another bridge. The final section to be worked on will run from Lancaster Rd to Beach Haven Rd.

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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
