Rawene Rd Carpark Almost Completed
Wow, doesn't this look different! Here's the latest update from the Rawene Rd Carpark project team:
"We are very pleased to let you all know that the final touches are being made to the new Rawene carpark. We are opening the carpark up for use during the Birkenhead Heritage Festival which will delay us fully completing the carpark for the duration of the festival, however we plan to finish the carpark shortly after i.e. late October.
Please be aware of traffic and pedestrians at all times – especially as everybody is getting used to the new carpark and layout.. We do expect that this area will quickly become busy, so please be considerate.
There will eventually be 124 spaces in the new carpark including 4 disabled spaces. The parking restriction timings are being finalised currently and AT will be monitoring parking times once the car park is formally open.
Here is the latest image from our webcam showing the new tarmac surface, line marking is programmed for tomorrow. Stairs from the new (lower) carpark will be eventually located in the bottom right corner of this photo."

Impersonating tow truck drivers
Police are warning drivers across Tāmaki Makarau to be on the lookout for dodgy tow truck drivers following several incidents in the past few months.
Motorists are being warned of a small group of people pretending to be tow truck drivers, committing crimes by using unregistered tow trucks to pick up vehicles.
Sergeant Suzannah Kimber, Counties Manukau Police, says the group steals vehicles by pretending to legitimately tow them before disposing of the vehicles.
“Recently these offenders towed a member of the public’s vehicle in plain sight.
“Members of the public drove past this tow truck while they were loading it up as it just looked normal.
“They even go as far as wearing high-visibility clothing.”
Sergeant Kimber says Police are taking the opportunity to remind the community that all tow trucks will have external sign writing with the company name and be able to produce their logbook if asked.
“They also must be registered as a transport operator.
“If you see a tow truck without any distinguishing features towing cars, please call Police immediately.”
