Hi everyone,
With Christmas fast approaching, we'd be keen to hear from those who spend the festive season (or part of it) away each year. Where do you go and why? What makes it such a great place to be at this time of year? What are you most looking forward to about the trip? Any words of advice you may have on things to do or places to eat or drink in the area would also be much appreciated. As usual, please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article. Cheers.

Tunnel mining changes to 24-hour operation in City Rail Link project

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Tunnel mining at City Rail Link’s Mt Eden site is switching to a 24-hour operation from Monday to Friday to maintain momentum on New Zealand's largest transport infrastructure project.

Twenty-four hour work at the tunnel portal site on the corner of Nikau St and Flower St starts on Thursday.

Mining will continue 24 hours Monday-to-Friday but Saturday mining hours are restricted to 7am-7pm.

Work will cease on Sundays and public holidays.

Link Alliance Project Director, Francois Dudouit, said measures are in place to reduce the impact the increased hours may have on the project’s residential and business neighbours.

Mining noise and vibration will be closely monitored by environmental experts, he said.

To mitigate noise, workers will place a curtain at the portal entrance to reduce noise and schedule noisier work to day shifts.

Lights used at night will be angled down directly onto the work site.

Dudouit said the increased hours are temporary and are necessary to complete a 51 metre-long entrance to the tunnel over the next four months.

The Link Alliance is building a cavern and trench which the TBM will use to start its journey underground into central Auckland.

The trench will later become the railway line connecting the City Rail Link with the Western Line at the redeveloped Mt Eden station.

Go to www.cityraillink.co.nz... for more information.

Are you concerned about the temporary increase in work hours at the site?

Are you in favour of the City Rail Link project?

Hi Everyone,
I am attempting to make recycled paper over the summer (before I make it with my students next year) and am looking for a beater (old manual or hand held electric) or perhaps even an old blender to help mix up the pulp. If anyone is having a pre-Christmas clean out and has an old one they are looking to get rid of I would gladly take it off your hands.

What's the noise disturbance like? Do you notice it?
Was your house cheaper than others in the area?
Is the easy access to transport the reason you bought there?

If you can answer any of those questions, we'd love to hear from you. Please leave a comment or email homed@stuff.co.nz with your name and details. Have a great day!
