🎇🚦Major road renovations on Rathgar Road and Universal Drive🚦🎇

Fiona from Henderson

Some major road renovations which will include a new set of traffic lights, is about to start at the intersection of Rathgar Road and Universal Drive. 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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

RE: Hosting a FREE inspirational talk by Harita Davies in your school/class

Durba from Avondale

Kia Ora
I would like to introduce you to Harita Davies, our national record holder in 3100-Mile race.

Harita is the only New Zealand woman to ever attempt and complete the world's longest certified running race, the 3100-Mile race (94km for 52 days and 28 pairs of running shoes!) The Self-Transcendence 3,100-Mile Race, described as “The Mount Everest of Ultramarathons” by the New York Times, requires competitors to maintain an average of 60 miles a day, amounting to over two marathons every day for 52 days!

Each year, contestants are drawn to the 3100-mile ultra for often inner reasons. Testing their physical and mental limits, with a curiosity about human potential itself. The race promises personal growth and self-discovery. Participants come from around the world to shatter their perceived limitations and discover a deeper sense of self. Only six women have ever completed the 3100-mile distance since its inception in 1997.

Please listen to Harita's many interviews with RNZ - www.rnz.co.nz......
Watch a trailer about the award-winning documentary covering the 3100 Mile Race -

Accompanying her will be Preetidutta Thorpe, ultra marathon runner and a former Olympic-level contender in sailing who has just completed the Everest Marathon last year.

For Harita, meditation is the ultimate game changer in her running. This holistic approach cultivates peak performance and nurtures a deeper sense of well-being, She believes that caring for our own sense of peace is one of the most powerful contributions we can make to creating a better and more peaceful world.

Kindly get in touch if you would like to have Harita talk to your school/class about her experience and share a few simple practical meditation techniques to cope with stress, improve focus and cultivate resilience. The duration and depth of the subject matter can be tailored to suit.

Harita, now living in the US, and will be back in Auckland on Wednesday 12 February.

I look forward to the opportunity to discuss any possibilities for inspiring your school community to take the first step.

Warmest regards,
Durba Lee Preetidutta Thorpe
