Poll: Hill Street: Total Gridlock

Reporter Rodney Times

Drone footage from Labour Weekend shows the extent of the mess that is Hill Street in Warkworth. www.stuff.co.nz...

To address congestion, AT and NZTA have announced an interim three month trial to commence from November 7.

This trial will involve the banning of turning right onto Elizabeth Street in the hope to reduce one set of traffic movements and help vehicles move easily through the intersection.

Changes will include using half a dozen orange 'safe-hit' flexible posts and removing the giveway from Sandspit Road adjacent to Elizabeth Street.

Do you think this will help?

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?
