Auckland Transport is addressing the "very disturbing" rise in local road deaths and serious injuries with a range of projects, including six new red-light cameras at high-risk intersections, safety measures at rail level crossings and lower speeds around schools and town centres.

Five urban and five rural high-risk roads and intersections, plus 20 urban pedestrian projects are getting attention during the current financial year that runs from July to the end of June next year. You can stay up to date with NZTA projects here.

The urban road safety improvements include a signalised pedestrian crossing on Taharoto Rd in Takapuna and new traffic lights at a busy intersection in Wiri. Rural safety improvements are planned in Dairy Flat, Silverdale, Waiuku and a new intersection at Popes Rd and Porchester Rd at Takanini.

A further $5 million is being spent on improving road markings and better signage on more than 400km of rural roads.

Preventing social isolation

All of us are social beings by nature, and feeling isolated can often have a negative impact on our well-being and health outcomes. Keeping in touch with the people we know can have many benefits for our physical health, mental health and wellbeing.

Did you know that…

About half of older New Zealanders experience some level of loneliness in our lives.

Older people are particularly vulnerable to social isolation or loneliness due to loss of friends and family, mobility or income?

A person can be socially isolated, but not lonely?

lacking social connections is as damaging to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes?

Loneliness and social isolation are not the same thing?

Become a Street contact for Neighbuorhood Support and help connect the people that live in your street,

Social isolation checklist

The Office for Seniors has released a checklist to help people determine if they, or someone they know, is at risk of becoming socially isolated.

Did you know that at Hilton Brown Swimming we run adult learn to swim, adult technique and adult advanced classes. Here is some feedback from a lovely customer who is moving from strength to strength in her learn to swim class.

"I just want to say how proud I am of my achievements since coming to the fantastic new Hobsonville facility. Within three weeks, I went from literally no confidence around water, to jumping in and doing strokes without a float. I feel that I improve with every lesson.Thank you team, you are an awesome bunch of young professionals who are making such a huge difference to the community with such an important life skill. Huge appreciation for what you do."

Remember - its never too late to learn to swim so that you can enjoy our beautiful country and all the water activities available to you.
