Road Closures on Ti Rakau

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

‼️ Latest update from Eastern Busway. ‼️
“Kia ora,
We’d like to let you know about upcoming work as part of the Eastern Busway project so that you’re informed ahead of time.
Changes will be in place on Tī Rākau Drive in both directions between Pakūranga Road and William Roberts Road from Friday 24 October to Saturday 27 December. Please see the attached map.

Important information
There will be one lane open in each direction on Ti Rākau Drive and the right turn from Tī Rākau Drive to the South Eastern Highway will be closed.
Motorists will be able to access the South Eastern Highway using Rā Hihi – flyover.
Please allow extra travel time during peak hours while everyone adjusts to the reduced lane layout.
A section of footpath will be closed between the South Eastern Highway and Tiraumea Drive, along with the pedestrian crossings at that location. Signs will guide people to the nearest pedestrian crossing by Mattson Road to cross Tī Rākau Drive. Your safety is our priority, please only use pedestrian crossings.

When it’s completed, the Eastern Busway will provide transport options for people to get to more places, more frequently. Thank you for your patience while the busway is built.
Further information about the Eastern Busway project is at easternbusway.nz.... You’re also welcome to contact our Customer and Community team on info@easternbusway.nz or call 0800 287 929.
Kind regards
Eastern Busway Team “

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
