Te Whau pathway consultation open until December 20th
Auckland Council are looking to get more feedback on some design aspects of the local Te Whau pathway for the parts that have not yet been completed. This is a local infrastructure project that will one day provide a link between the Manukau and Waitemata harbours and run from Te Atatu to Green Bay. It will open up our suburb to the river and will be a great asset to the area and Auckland.
The feedback provided will govern the design aspects of the whole pathway. They are looking for helpful feedback around the design and possible locations of features along the pathway.
The link for feedback is akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz....
This construction phase will only be for small areas of the whole pathway. These are the areas that have so far secured funding. They are looking to start this work next year and look to complete by 2024.
The deadline for feedback is by December 20th.
For further information on the pathway, you can look on the Te Whau trust webpage tewhaupathway.org.nz....
What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
