We Say/You Say: Coastal Erosion

Neighbourly.co.nz

Hi Auckland,

How worried are you about coastal erosion in Auckland?

Auckland's shoreline could recede by 200m by 2130 if little to no action on climate change is taken.

The report, titled "Predicting Auckland's exposure to coastal instability and erosion", details the impacts this will have on communities the Auckland region.

Sea level rise is notoriously difficult for scientists to follow and this has meant coastal erosion rates have been difficult to predict.

New Zealand's sea levels have risen an average 1.67mm per year since 1989, but the Ministry of Environment says this will accelerate if little action is taken on climate change.

Thanks for the Speed Tables, Auckland Transport!

Jake from Weymouth

Thank you Auckland Transport, for the new speed tables on Palmers Road and Weymouth Road.

Getting them all done together made it less of a pain and now these streets feel more like they are designed for 30kph.

Driving at 30 is very different to the way most of us were trained to drive, so it helps when the street design tells us it is OK to go slow.

Don't be a try-hard, let that engine idle in gear and cruise your neighbourhood in style. Wind a window down and enjoy.

Everyone benefits from safer roads and crossings, but especially the tamariki on their way to and from the bus stops, kindies, schools, playgrounds, reserves, dairies, community centres, library, pool and mall.

Great job AT!
