Kids sleeping on floor as family of 10 placed into 2-bedroom apartment

Mildred Armah Reporter from Manukau Courier

Eleven-year-old Fatima Al Assi​ dreams of the days when she was able to ​run around her house with her friends.

Friends she hasn’t been able to invite over for almost a month, since her family of 10 were forced to move into a two-bedroom apartment in Manukau, south Auckland.

“We used to have people coming over, but now we can't do anything. We can’t really run around or sleep properly,” Al Assi says.

What's one highway or road that needs attention?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We've all been on a summer roadie and experienced first-hand the state of our roads.

If you've ever been stuck in a summer traffic jam, had near-misses on dangerous turns or feared for your life on clifftops (while the car behind you is tail-gating!) - you may have an opinion on this one.

Tell us what main road or highway you think needs some serious attention across the country, and why!
