Latest update on Pakuranga Rd Intersection

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

‼️ Latest update from Auckland Transport ‼️
An update on the new Pakuranga Rd intersection - AT and the Eastern Busway team are taking a number of actions to sort out those afternoon traffic delays on Pakuranga Rd heading east.

We want to reassure everyone that the team is investigating a design solution to improve the efficiency of the intersection.

Other actions are also underway:
📌 Adjusting traffic lights to optimise vehicle flow and monitoring traffic.
📌 Putting construction work at the intersection on hold - only essential activities are being completed like installing permanent signage.
📌 Assessing the potential removal of a Pakuranga Road pedestrian crossing between the intersections of Brampton Court and Tī Rākau Drive.
📌 Getting feedback from MP Simeon Brown, councillors and the local board.

We'll keep you updated - thank you for your patience.

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?
