Auckland Transport is addressing the "very disturbing" rise in local road deaths and serious injuries with a range of projects, including six new red-light cameras at high-risk intersections, safety measures at rail level crossings and lower speeds around schools and town centres.

Five urban and five rural high-risk roads and intersections, plus 20 urban pedestrian projects are getting attention during the current financial year that runs from July to the end of June next year. You can stay up to date with NZTA projects here.

The urban road safety improvements include a signalised pedestrian crossing on Taharoto Rd in Takapuna and new traffic lights at a busy intersection in Wiri. Rural safety improvements are planned in Dairy Flat, Silverdale, Waiuku and a new intersection at Popes Rd and Porchester Rd at Takanini.

A further $5 million is being spent on improving road markings and better signage on more than 400km of rural roads.

Did you know that at Hilton Brown Swimming we run adult learn to swim, adult technique and adult advanced classes. Here is some feedback from a lovely customer who is moving from strength to strength in her learn to swim class.

"I just want to say how proud I am of my achievements since coming to the fantastic new Hobsonville facility. Within three weeks, I went from literally no confidence around water, to jumping in and doing strokes without a float. I feel that I improve with every lesson.Thank you team, you are an awesome bunch of young professionals who are making such a huge difference to the community with such an important life skill. Huge appreciation for what you do."
