Hundreds of Auckland homeowners could lose land to busway project

Mildred Armah Reporter from Manukau Courier

Hundreds of homeowners have been left shocked to find a letter in the post notifying them their properties could be turned into a bus lane.

Auckland Transport and Waka Kotahi are in the planning stages of the Airport to Botany Rapid Transit system, which will offer a new public transport route between Auckland Airport, Manukau and Botany.

An Auckland Transport spokesperson said 475 properties had received letters that said the draft designation boundary affected their properties in some way.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.
