Latest update on Pakuranga Rd Intersection

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

‼️ Latest update from Auckland Transport ‼️
An update on the new Pakuranga Rd intersection - AT and the Eastern Busway team are taking a number of actions to sort out those afternoon traffic delays on Pakuranga Rd heading east.

We want to reassure everyone that the team is investigating a design solution to improve the efficiency of the intersection.

Other actions are also underway:
📌 Adjusting traffic lights to optimise vehicle flow and monitoring traffic.
📌 Putting construction work at the intersection on hold - only essential activities are being completed like installing permanent signage.
📌 Assessing the potential removal of a Pakuranga Road pedestrian crossing between the intersections of Brampton Court and Tī Rākau Drive.
📌 Getting feedback from MP Simeon Brown, councillors and the local board.

We'll keep you updated - thank you for your patience.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
