An update on widening SH16 petition which closes tomorrow.
10 days ago we only had just under 800 signatures so I emailed all the Rodney local board members to see if they would give it a push through their mailing lists. Not one of them bothered to reply or give any assistance whatsoever. So on Monday I emailed Chris Penk, our local MP. He rang me within two hours thanking me for running the petition and indicated that he would spread the word, and since then we now have just under 1300 signatures, so well done Chris.
As you will now be aware the government has neglected our area in its latest infrastructure rollout so it is up to us to keep the pressure on before the election.

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!
Auckland Harbour Bridge summer works
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is carrying out essential maintenance on the Auckland Harbour Bridge this December and January. The southbound clip-on lanes will be closed (24/7) from 26 December to 5 January for road resurfacing. Night-time lane restrictions will be in place throughout the summer for recoating work on the bridge. Traffic will still be able to travel in both directions at all times.
