SH2 is the main highway connection between Auckland and the Coromandel and Tauranga.
“The closures will make the road safer for all road users in heavy traffic by maintaining a steady flow and preventing the risk of crashes as traffic merges at the end of the passing lane,” says the Transport Agency’s Acting System Manager Ross l‘Anson. Keep updated here

The mat is positioned in the walkway next to the cenotaph on Marine Parade (opposite Pacific Avenue/Mount Drury). Enjoy!
Just a reminder today is the last day for bringing your curtains and blinds in for a clean before we shut down for Christmas.
Happy Holidays!

I waited half an hour this morning for a bus that didn't turn up and met a gentleman who had an hour's wait yesterday. Also my hairdresser at Cherrywood tells me her clients from Matua are distressed as they find the distance from the stop in Ngatai Road too far from the Cherrywood shops for them to manage. Personally, my 2 minute four bus stop trip down to Cherrywood has turned into a 26 min journey - that's if the bus actually turns up!
