Unused bus lane due to new bus routes - could save congestion

Lance from Hillcrest

The bus lane at the bottom end of ocean view road at the roundabout from the corner of Hillcrest ave is only about 20metres long, but with the new bus routes, none of the buses go that way anymore.
If they could paint over it and make it a clear straight ahead through the roundabout anytime (to merge with traffic coming from Lake road on northcote road), it would solve a lot of congestion on Ocean view in the mornings, and also stop the rat runners using Potter ave back down onto Lake road to jump the queues in the mornings too which happens a lot (as they can presently skip round the backstreets then get right of way at the roundabout with the steady stream of morning traffic, so ocean view just backs up indefinitely).

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
