Public Meeting - Update on Reeves Rd Flyover

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

From Simeon Brown, MP for Pakuranga:

“I wanted to let you know about an upcoming Public Meeting I will be hosting on Saturday 9 August, to provide the local community with an update on the Reeves Road Flyover.

With major works beginning in the coming months as construction of the Flyover and the next stage of the Eastern Busway to Botany progresses, it is important you be provided with an update on what this entails.

At the meeting, I will be joined by senior members of the Eastern Busway Alliance, the organisation responsible for the project, who will give a presentation on the upcoming works plans and timings, and how it will impact travel in the area.”

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?
