January Road Resealing
The below roads are due to be re-sealed in January. Note that these dates could change, so keep an eye on your letterbox for a notice.
Following the Kaipatiki Local Board's resolution to Auckland Transport opposing the downgrade of suburban asphalt roads to chip-seal, I'm pleased that we've been able to secure the new "rejuvenation" treatment for some roads.
This new treatment extends the life of asphalt surfaces and was trialled in Unsworth Heights. While it is more expensive than chipseal, it is cheaper than asphalt and provides a similar standard of surface, so is a very good compromise. Unfortuantely it can't be applied to all roads, and it can't be applied to roads that have already been downgraded to chip seal :(

Melba Street, Beach Haven - 11 January
Ayton Drive, Totara Vale - 12 January

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
