There have been several crashes into private property, with a couple of vehicles hitting buildings or coming close to it.
The Local Board, in particular member Melanie Kenrick, have been asking for a solution here to improve safety.
Auckland Transport have investigated the situation and in November will be installing a number of flexi-posts to both increase the prominence of the intersection and narrow the road width which should slow vehicles down. This solution is the only one that can be prioritised at the moment due to tight budgets.
See the attached map for the new layout:
* Red dots: Flexi-poles
* Blue lines: New road markings
* Shaded areas: Bus movements

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.

We were given a heap of wool but unfortunately it’s a bit coarse for the wee babies so I’m passing it on to someone that can use it. Suitable for older child or adult garments…. Would be perfect for Arran jumper or the like. Pick up from Milford. Note this is about half of amount available so there’s LOTS!!

New Zealand currently has no national cat management plan, allowing domestic and stray cats to roam and breed as they please. This can lead to the death of native species, not to mention creating nuisance for neighbours. Do you think some laws should be in place for our feline friends?

The tracks have been upgraded to a standard to help prevent kauri dieback, including new bridges, boardwalks and box steps. There is also a great new lookout between Fitzpatrick Place and Mappin Place.
Last week local board member Erica Hannam, long-time volunteer David Roberts and I were given a walkthrough by the contractors and it's looking fantastic. Definitely one to check out once it opens.

This playground is the closest for anyone living in the Greenvalley Rise/Woodcote Dr/Domain Rd part of Glenfield.
Have your say here before 16 October: tinyurl.com...
Once we've heard from you, a couple of concepts will be designed and go out for consultation again. The new playground is expected to be built in 2024/25.
