Will this slip and road closure affect you?
A landslide has blocked Scenic Drive between Arataki Visitor Centre and West Coast Rd - in the same place as one in October last year. An Auckland Transport spokesman said he expected it will take til July 19 to open one lane, but it may be longer if more material falls. The slip happened on July 15 at about 9am. In the meantime motorists have a 20 minute detour via Shaw and West Coast Rds, he said.

Dental Implants
A successful Dental Implant Placed by Dr Martin J Cribbin at CM Dental ltd in Henderson, replacing a lower left molar which had fractured and could not be root filled.
Where there is sufficient bone the dental implant can offer a better solution than bridge work as there is no damage to the teeth adjacent by cutting them down to create space for the bridgework.
