Laingholm landslip 'growing', residents face months of detours
Kia ora neighbours, residents of badly damaged Laingholm Drive face months of long detours after a bad slip.
In mid-June, the footpath on the road collapsed and it was cracked apart by a burst water main.
A section of the road has been blocked to traffic since and residents have been told it will take months to fix.
Residents now have to detour along Huia Rd to Victory Rd to access their homes.
Harry Gibbs, who lives near the slip with his partner and 5-month-old baby, said it now took 25 minutes to get to the supermarket in nearby Titirangi when it used to take eight.

With the growth of our ageing population, and more seniors living alone, this group would explore and advocate/address the social, emotional and physical needs of our seniors, and promote positive and healthy ageing.
We meet on the first Saturday afternoon of the month in Mt. Roskill. Our next meeting will be 3 Jan 2026.
If you are interested in joining us and contribute your ideas, knowledge, experience, talents and resources, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us at agewellkiwi@gmail.com.
