There are more than 500,000 businesses in New Zealand. Each of these businesses while different in size and sector all have one thing in common, people.

Everyone who works or owns a business in New Zealand pays levies. Your levy goes towards insuring and protecting your most important assets – you and your people.

Annual ACC invoices for businesses are sent out from 9 July and there’s a few things you need to know to make the process a whole lot easier.

If your details or circumstances have changed since last year, you can update these online. If you do this by 22 June, we can invoice you correctly.

Support our opposition to the road changers that threaten to make our community more dangerous and unhealthy for everyone living in it.

This is the online Petition which opposes the proposed changers to Cranford street and the surrounding areas, specifically the changes to Berwick and Warrington street and demand other options are explored.

The reason for the opposition to changes to our community roads is due to a number of reasons.
You just have to look at the proposed route to see it causes more problems than it solves.
We are not against change and progress, but for this project to be rehashed a number of times in various different forms and then seemingly tried to be snuck in through the back door in the form of a pamphlet which a lot of residents didn’t receive or threw away as it only stated in its title Cranford Street, is quite disingenuous.
Its uncertain just how many cars will be diverted through our streets but the numbers are quite frightening, a 2015 estimate of traffic volume decrease on both Main North Rd and Marshlands Rd add up to 26,000 which is the number that may be heading down/up the Cranford St on/off ramp every day.
If only a third of those cars made their way down Warrington and Berwick Streets we are talking about a car every second for 3 hours solid on top of the existing traffic.
The council have told us to expect an increase in traffic of over 30% with a further increase in the future.
What does this really mean for us?
We feel our community is being compromised,

Please sign the online petition and support our community.

Hi everyone.
After a community meeting of 14 residents living in the area of Warrington, Berwick and surrounding streets, it was decided we opposed the proposed Cranford street changes, specifically the changes effecting our area.
The main reasons....and there were numerous..... Were
Lack of consultation within the community.
No other route options apparent or offered.
Lack of public transport or ride-sharing initiatives to reduce single car traffic commuting.
An increase in traffic from districts outside the city, yet our community will pay the costs socially and financially for this urban sprawl.
Various area specific problems along the route to name just a few- 3 sets of traffic lights in 3 residential blocks. -loss of street parking for all people using St Albans park......etc
If you are opposed to the road changes to Warrington, Berwick and surrounding areas please sign the petition we intend to hand to council and the local MP. The community must be heard and consulted.
