'Nuisance' street project in Henderson cost $1.3m
Kia ora neighbours, a council-led project aimed at making Henderson safer, which led to community backlash, cost ratepayers and taxpayers more than $1.3 million.
The Henderson Streets for People trial was launched in May and included a traffic flow plan, which redirected traffic to Alderman Drive, artwork at the intersection of Great North Rd, Railside Ave and Ratanui St, a trial of bus-only lanes, and “safe shared paths” for people on bikes and scooters.
The trial was opposed by many locals and business owners, with two protests and an online petition of more than 5000 signatures.
At the time, residents labelled the trial a “nuisance” and said the changes had caused traffic “chaos”.
How do you feel about the cost of the project?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
