Clearway Proposed for Wairau Road, Glenfield

John Gillon from

Auckland Transport is proposing an evening clearway and No Stopping At All Times (broken yellow lines) parking restrictions on Wairau Road, between the Glenfield Rd and Hogans Rd intersections.

Changes include:
* A Clear Way between 306 and 334 Wairau Road, Monday Friday, 4pm 6.30pm. This will allow the westbound lane to flow freely during peak times while minimising permanent parking removal.
* No Stopping At All Times parking restrictions approaching the intersection with Glenfield Road to reduce unsafe lane changing when the left turn lane is blocked by parked cars.
* No Stopping At All Times parking restrictions opposite the intersection with Ellice Road to make sure the westbound through lane is kept clear.
* Parking restrictions next to the bus stops to make sure there is enough space for buses to manoeuvre in and out of traffic safely.

From AT:
“Our proposal responds to a request from the local community to address the issue of parked cars restricting traffic movements along Wairau Road. We expect these parking changes to greatly improve the flow of traffic, particularly during the evening peak , and welcome your feedback on our proposal. While our proposal is aimed at improving traffic flow along Wairau Road, we recognise that these parking restrictions may impact people who live along the street. That is why we want to hear from you. Your community feedback will help us decide the final shape of these parking changes.”

Feedback closes Tuesday 20 August 2019.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Home made bread problem

Karen from Totara Vale

Is anyone else having trouble with bread dough not rising properly?

I used to be able to turn out a decent loaf but now the bread is half the height - if that - and very dense.

I've used 4 different brands of yeast including the type bakers use to no avail. I've changed the flour to the best available and I've followed the recipe meticulously.

It can only be the flour?

What do you think?
