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: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
