Slip on Laingholm Drive remains unfixed three months on

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, three months after a West Auckland road was badly damaged by a large slip, residents say they’re still waiting for any work to fix it to begin.

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

A section of the road has been blocked to traffic since and residents have to detour along Huia Rd to Victory Rd to access their homes.

Laingholm resident Jessica Moorman said she’d asked Auckland Transport (AT) for an update on the work in August and was told it’d be another few weeks before a timeline for the repairs could be completed.

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?
