Latest update on Pakuranga Rd Intersection

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

‼️ Latest update from Auckland Transport ‼️
An update on the new Pakuranga Rd intersection - AT and the Eastern Busway team are taking a number of actions to sort out those afternoon traffic delays on Pakuranga Rd heading east.

We want to reassure everyone that the team is investigating a design solution to improve the efficiency of the intersection.

Other actions are also underway:
📌 Adjusting traffic lights to optimise vehicle flow and monitoring traffic.
📌 Putting construction work at the intersection on hold - only essential activities are being completed like installing permanent signage.
📌 Assessing the potential removal of a Pakuranga Road pedestrian crossing between the intersections of Brampton Court and Tī Rākau Drive.
📌 Getting feedback from MP Simeon Brown, councillors and the local board.

We'll keep you updated - thank you for your patience.

Kōnae: Find Your Records

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

If you want to know how to request records about you or your whānau visit Kōnae: My Records Guide konae.org.nz.

Kōnae has information on more than 60 state and faith-based organisations that have records for over 800 homes and places in Aotearoa New Zealand about people who have been in their guardianship or care.

The Kōnae map shows past and present places in Aotearoa New Zealand like children’s homes, hospitals, orphanages, boarding schools, Youth Justice facilities and many more.

Each place on the map has details about who was responsible for running it and how to get records.

The map can be searched and filtered by
- name

- type of organisation.

If you want support to use the website or to find your records, you can get in touch with your local CAB on 0800 367 222, email or message via cab.org.nz, or visit a CAB near you cab.org.nz/find-a-cab
