Clearway Proposed for Wairau Road, Glenfield
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.

Six tips for improving security around your home
1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
