Auckland Transport's solution for illegally parked car transporters on Great North Rd

Caroline Williams Reporter from Central Leader

Hi neighbours. Auckland Transport has revealed some of its plans to "maximise the use of available space" on Great North Rd in Grey Lynn in attempt to stop car transporters loading and offloading vehicles on the roadside and flush median.

There are at least 15 car yards on Great North Rd, most of which don't have loading facilities on their properties.
Pedestrians have reported ramps being lowered on the road, cars being reversing into oncoming traffic, cyclists struggling to navigate around them and a transporter parked completely over the top of a pedestrian island.
The plans included incorporating loading zones for vehicles including car transporters, removing the flush median and installing speed tables (like elongated speed bumps) to manage speed.
Do you think this is an effective fix? Let us know in the comments.

It's so good knowing that he's so happy and well cared for when spending his days there. Such a relief for a parent. I wanted to put this out there as I really struggled to make a decision about childcare and I was very keen to get suggestions / recommendations. So I hope this is useful to someone!

Aucklanders weigh in on proposed electorate changes

Changes to the Manukau East electorate received the majority of the objections, with 64. Objectors were concerned the new boundary would separate Panmure from Mt Wellington.

Fifty-eight people said the name Helensville would not represent the communities within the electorate, instead suggesting Atuanui, Mahurangi and Kaipara, or keeping the name Rodney.

Hibiscus Coast was put forward as an alternative name by many of the 21 Whangaparāoa objectors.

Boundary changes to Papakura were mostly supported by 22 people, while 22 objectors to the new Flat Bush electorate suggested adding areas from Botany and Manurewa and calling it Takanini, Flat Bush-Takanini, Manukau South, Manurewa East, Totara or Totara Park.

What do you think about the changes proposed for your electorate?
