An update on widening SH16 petition which closes tomorrow.
10 days ago we only had just under 800 signatures so I emailed all the Rodney local board members to see if they would give it a push through their mailing lists. Not one of them bothered to reply or give any assistance whatsoever. So on Monday I emailed Chris Penk, our local MP. He rang me within two hours thanking me for running the petition and indicated that he would spread the word, and since then we now have just under 1300 signatures, so well done Chris.
As you will now be aware the government has neglected our area in its latest infrastructure rollout so it is up to us to keep the pressure on before the election.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
60.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
