FANTASTIC GLENVAR ROAD UPDATE
The draft Regional Land Transport Plan is out and the Glenvar Rd realignment project has been included!!
We did hope that this would be the case when more funding for the project was approved last year after my presentation to the Auckland Transport Board and after your 1000+ submissions to the emergency budget on the importance of the project.
The good news is that the RLTP lists Glenvar Road as a priority project for construction to begin in 2021/22, which isn’t too far behind the original schedule.
The draft RLTP is open for feedback until 2 May. I will be resubmitting the 2000+ submissions I gathered from you all in 2018 when we last went through this process. If you didn’t submit last time - please click on this post or head to: at.govt.nz...
Let them know how important this essential safety is!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
