Southern Motorway Closure

The Team from NZ Transport Agency

The Southern Motorway (SH1) will close, southbound between the Manukau Interchange (SH1-SH20 connection) and Takanini Interchange, from:
8pm Saturday, 1 April to 8am Sunday, 2 April 2017.

The closure will enable us to connect the new Takanini southbound off-ramp to the existing bridge. A detour route will be in place. Northbound lanes will remain open as usual.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation while we complete this important project. For more information please call 0508 6982 724 or click here for more information.

Six tips for improving security around your home

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.

2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.

3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.

4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.

5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.

6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property

Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
