West Auckland residents could net new cycle ways in Henderson

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Auckland Transport has announced new cycle routes proposed for West Auckland's Henderson.

Community feedback has helped AT identify eight bike routes which will form the backbone of the proposed new Henderson cycle network.

More than 500 submissions were made, with 275 new routes pinpointed, aimed at boosting safety for cyclists.

Once the proposed new network is confirmed, AT will look at ways to connect routes to surrounding areas.

The goal is to develop a comprehensive network which can be built over time, as funding becomes available.

“Cycling is a better option for the environment and makes up an essential part of our city’s shift towards a low-carbon transport system,” said Cliff Wilton, Auckland Transport's sustainable mobility manager.

January 16, 11am to 2pm: Community space inside West City Waitakere at 7 Catherine Street, Henderson.

January 23, 11am to 2pm: Community space inside West City Waitakere, 7 Catherine Street, Henderson.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
