Also included a splat of red/orange paint similar to the mess they did in Glen Eden and the dreadful blue in Henderson.
All of this is due to start 4 July until the end September.
Good times ahead while 3 months of chaos & traffic jams will happen in winter along Universal Drive which is normally very busy, but will be slowed down so much now.
Rathgar has already been inundated with those dreadful speed bumps and now this.
I wonder when the carnage will start along Lincoln Road that they were talking about before all the lockdowns happened?
I wish we had traffic lights at the Parrs Road/Bruce McLaren Intersection as opposed to the silly round-a-bout which is already breaking up and is far too big for this narrow road.

Titirangi has battled poultry problems for years and in 2019, the Waitākere Local Board paid $25,000 to get rid of more than 200 birds.
The removal of the chickens was requested by the majority of locals and 240 of the birds were captured and re-homed, but local board deputy chairperson Greg Presland said not every single bird was captured.
Years on, a flock of about 30 birds are roosting by Titirangi library, driving residents “mad” with constant crowing.

In mid-June, the footpath on the road collapsed and it was cracked apart by a burst water main.
A section of the road has been blocked to traffic since and residents have been told it will take months to fix.
Residents now have to detour along Huia Rd to Victory Rd to access their homes.
Harry Gibbs, who lives near the slip with his partner and 5-month-old baby, said it now took 25 minutes to get to the supermarket in nearby Titirangi when it used to take eight.

Now after all these years, I’m proud to say I have never been proud of choosing NZ as my home. There are things NZ won’t fix for me, but I love NZ and I have never seen beautiful people and country like NZ.
NZ gave me protection when my country couldn’t.
I love NZ and God bless NZ.
Hello Neighbours,
I am intending to start a part time home based Massage service in the next month or so.
Right now looking for a few clients to get things rolling - who wouldn't mind the fact that I'm not quite setup yet, for a discounted introductory rate of $50/hour

I am intending to start a part time home based Massage service in the next month or so.
Right now looking for a few clients to get things rolling - who wouldn't mind the fact that I'm not quite setup yet, for a discounted introductory rate of $50/hour
I have approximately 15 years massage experience , have done a bunch of courses , including a few lessons in Thailand.
My options will be:
- Muscular/Pain relief
- Relaxation
I do have quite a knack for finding the exact spot/muscle that has the soreness and working away some of that pain.
My normal job is weekdays 9-5 so appointments will have to fit in around that I'm afraid.
So, if you have sore muscles , need relaxation etc, and if you don't mind that the fancy table covers I've ordered haven't arrived yet, and the front yard still needs some tidying, feel free to get in touch.
