Vaughan's Road to Te Oneroa or Ridgelea Rd a No Brainer
There has been limited publicity or discussion alerting ratepayer's and residence surrounding opening up Vaughan's Rd to Long Bay & Torbay by connecting either of the two options above is a no brainer, maybe that's the issue , the limited awareness is mostly driven by a few concerned & intelligent ratepayers, the main question is where are our local leaders, from any of the National Party, Act, or Labour, your all so quiet when practicality and commonsense is required, lets get an alternative to Glenvar Rd open NOW
Speaking of which, what's up with the major repair work presently being undertaken on Glenvar Road, please inform the thousands of residence who are affected by the ineptitude of Waka Kotahi which decision maker (please stand up) within Waka Kotahi decided that while the road lets not use our common sense and proceed with the long overdue 15yr plan to straighten and align Glenvar with Lonely Track, put in the Traffic Lights, and carry out your civic duty to do the best possible job that you've been elected to do, surely this is a "no Brainer"
