Five roads in West Auckland remain closed after floods

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Western Leader

Auckland Transport has confirmed five roads are still closed in the region’s west after flooding on Tuesday.

Part of Bethells Road towards the beach in Waitakere is washed out and not safe to use.

Spokesperson Mark Hannan said AT is looking at options for getting temporary access across nearby private land.

Mountain Road and Lone Kauri Road have slips which could take some time to repair, and two houses are cut off on Lone Kauri Road.

Te Henga Road from Falls Road to Bethells Road has slips, but there is a detour available. Opanuku Road has trees across it in a couple of places.

“There may be other roads with flooding or debris so please drive with extra care,” Hannan said.

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?

Outdated 'Recent Notices in New Zealand'

Fiona from Henderson

Can anyone here or from Neighbourly.co.nz please explain to me why we have the so called ''Recent Notices in New Zealand' a.k.a. death notices tab here on Neighbourly when if fact, the most recent death notice is from 2023?
I don't know if anyone has used this tab recently, if ever, I only used when looking for a friend's recent death notice.
If this isn't going to be updated or in fact be what they say it is, 'Recent Notices in New Zealand', then please replace it with something we can all access with up to date information, maybe bring back the groups option - just a thought.
Any ideas people?
