Laingholm landslip 'growing', residents face months of detours

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, residents of badly damaged Laingholm Drive face months of long detours after a bad slip.

In mid-June, the footpath on the road collapsed and it was cracked apart by a burst water main.

A section of the road has been blocked to traffic since and residents have been told it will take months to fix.

Residents now have to detour along Huia Rd to Victory Rd to access their homes.

Harry Gibbs, who lives near the slip with his partner and 5-month-old baby, said it now took 25 minutes to get to the supermarket in nearby Titirangi when it used to take eight.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
