Feedback sought on safety improvements to Blockhouse Bay roundabout

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

It's time to have your say on proposals to boost safety at Blockhouse Bay's busy roundabout which sees 30,000 vehicles every day.

Auckland Transport is calling for feedback on plans to boost safety for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.

People have until December 11 to make submissions on plans to reshape the centre island, install raised traffic islands and paint new road markings to help guide cornering drivers.

The proposed changes aim to reduce speed for drivers approaching the traffic circle and to install safe crossing places for pedestrians.

Go to: at.govt.nz...

Which safety measures would you like to see at this traffic circle?

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?

Xmas lights exploded

Jan from Te Atatu South

My Christmas tree lights controller exploded in a ball of flames last night, so please be careful, Ive had them for a few years. If I hadnt been in the room it would have been a fire.
