Slip on Laingholm Drive remains unfixed three months on
Kia ora neighbours, three months after a West Auckland road was badly damaged by a large slip, residents say they’re still waiting for any work to fix it to begin.
In mid-June, the footpath on Laingholm Drive collapsed and the road was cracked apart by a burst water main.
A section of the road has been blocked to traffic since and residents have to detour along Huia Rd to Victory Rd to access their homes.
Laingholm resident Jessica Moorman said she’d asked Auckland Transport (AT) for an update on the work in August and was told it’d be another few weeks before a timeline for the repairs could be completed.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

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!
