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.

You can go to these drop-in session for more information:

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.

Community feedback closes on January 31 next year.

Go to at.govt.nz...
for more information.

A mother of four has realised a 30-year dream to join the Royal New Zealand Air Force.

April Sherman has graduated from a gruelling 14 weeks of training at RNZAF Base Woodbourne.

In 2021, the Hobsonville resident takes on safety and surface trade training- learning to keep aircraft equipment in peak condition.

The 46-year-old spent the past eight years in Australia, some of the time mining in Western Australia.

Family brought her back to New Zealand in 2019, and the chance sighting of an Air Force P-3K2 Orion re-ignited her life-long career dream.

“I lost my dad suddenly at the beginning of last year to cancer, so my priority was to find a job back in New Zealand and take care of my mum,” Sherman said.

“I was too shy as a school leaver back in 1992 to join.

"But I saw an Orion flying above Hobsonville one day after work last year and that rekindled the desire to look at the Air Force."

Sherman said being mentally and physically prepared has led to her success.

“If you’re willing to embrace lessons, make sacrifices, swallow your pride, be patient when others struggle and continue to give everything, you will eventually overcome each obstacle."
