Poll: Would you rather see more bus lanes or more cycle lanes?
More than half of Aucklanders oppose new cycle lanes if they reduce space for general traffic, on-street parking or berms, an Automobile Association (AA) survey has found.
The survey of 700 AA members showed greater opposition to cycle lanes than to bus priority lanes.
It tested views on both the cycle and bus lanes, as well as the way bus lane misuse by motorists was enforced.

Library Closure
I wonder what goes on in the heads of the TDC personal when they spend $5 million on the new Motueka Library and are now talking about closing it on weekends when staff are sick and possibly 1 week day With winter just round the corner days getting colder the library is a meeting place the only place where one can go on a cold day to read borrow books or attend on of the many gatherings that are alway on in the library
Perhaps they should have not built the library as the old building sits empty and given themselves a big bonus for running the TDC as a vibrant council
When will these people pull there head out of the sand and run the council as a successful business as a not as a group of infants
We as those who like to live in this area its time to wake up and get rid of this riffraff and elect people who know how to run local bodies successfully
