Ellerslie Racecourse housing development
www.epa.govt.nz...
This development was fast-tracked under the changes the last govt put through. It's obviously going to create huge amounts of traffic, despite it's supposed closeness to public transport which is one of the reasons for approval. The plan is for this traffic to exit at 2 points on Ladies Mile:
"The proposed density and residential typology mix of the development is also in part driven by identified traffic capacity for the area. A looped public road is provided from Ladies Mile (avoiding the Abbotts Way signalised T intersection). Access is also provided from to Derby
Downs Place which will have a new signalised intersection with Ladies Mile" (pg 10 of the doc). Obviously the people who decided this was a good idea do not live anywhere near the area, if they believe 2 new roads on that side of Ladies Mile so close together are not going to make a difference to the congestion that already occurs. It would have made more sense to put one entrance at the bottom end of Peach Parade, and the other to loop around the back of the race course to exit on Morrin or Mitchelson Streets.
I don't know if it's too late to start objecting to the council - but would love some ideas, as it's soon going to be nearly impossible to use Abbots Way as an exit point to the rest of Auckland.
Fundraising - Samosas & Wine
Final days for samosa orders. Orders close on the 19th June. Samosas delivered on the 2nd July.
My son is fundraising for AIMS and if samosas aren’t your thing we are now selling wine too.
You get Soho wines delivered to your door for less than it costs at the supermarket and we get $5/bottle to contribute to the costs of his soccer team heading to AIMS in Tauranga later this year. A win-win.
For samosas - just click the link and order direct online
For wine - fill out the form and email to Soho wines then flick me a PM to let me know you’ve ordered so we can get it credited.
Thanks everyone for your support.
