Parking restriction options for Glenfield Road
Auckland Transport are proposing two options for parking restrictions on the stretch of Glenfield Road between the intersections with Coronation Rd and Eskdale Road. Each option will improve traffic movements along Glenfield Road by preventing cars from parking in the southbound lane. Use the below link to vote and provide feedback on your preferred option.
Option 1 - No Stopping At All Times:
Option 1 involves No Stopping At All Times parking restrictions from 201 Glenfield Road to the intersection of Eskdale Road.
* These parking restrictions are expected to improve traffic flow along Glenfield Road up to the intersection by making sure the southbound through lane is kept free of parked cars at all times.
* This option involves the removal of a pproximately 16 parking spaces at all times.
* The proposal also includes No Stopping At All Times parking restrictions next to the bus stop outside the cemetery to allow enough space for buses to safely enter and exit the bus stop. These restrictions extend to the intersection to make sure the left-turn slip lane remains clear at all times.
Option 2 - Clearway and No Stopping At All Times:
Option 2 involves a shorter section of No Stopping At All Times parking restrictions and a Clearway from Monday to Fri day, 6.30am to 9.30am.
* No Stopping At All Times parking restrictions would extend from the intersection with Eskdale Road to number 187 Glenfield Road. The Clearway would extend between numbers 187 and 201 Glenfield Road.
* This means that parking between numbers 187 and 201 Glenfield Road would only be restricted during the morning peak, when traffic volumes are highest.
* This option involves the removal of 5 parking spaces at all times and 11 parking spaces during the morning, Monday to Friday, 6.30am to 9.30am.
* Like Option 1, Option 2 also includes No Stopping At All Times parking restrictions next to the bus stop outside the cemetery to allow enough space for buses to safely enter and exit the stop. These restrictions extend to the intersection to make sure the left-turn slip lane remains clear at all times.
Feedback closes Friday 30 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

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.
