140 Russley - Mt Pleasant bus service detouring away from Mt Pleasant Rd Thursday 20th October

Claire Nicholls from Metroinfo

On Thursday 20th October for one day only all buses travelling towards Mt Pleasant and McCormacks Bay will detour away from part of Mt Pleasant Rd while road works are carried out. Buses will detour off Major Hornbrooke Rd onto Billys Track and Mt Pleasant Rd back onto Soleares Ave to continue the normal route UNLESS passengers request to be dropped further up the hill upon boarding the bus.
If a passenger needs to be dropped further along the route buses will detour by continuing the normal route up Major Hornbrooke Rd then detour onto Madeley Rd, Bellview Tce and back down the hill along Major Hornbrooke Rd onto Billys Track and Mt Pleasant Rd back onto Soleares Ave to continue the normal route. Please note passengers need to tell the driver upon boarding they need to be taken up the hill otherwise the shorter detour will be run.
Buses travelling towards Russley are not affected. View detour map attached.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
