Transport options in Rodney
On Monday, May 6, new bus service 126 will begin operating between Westgate and Albany, via Riverhead and Coatesville, funded by the Rodney Transport Targeted Rate. This will be the third bus route introduced to Rodney by Auckland Transport and the Rodney Local Board, joining the 128 Helensville to Hibiscus Coast Station and the 998 Wellsford to Warkworth, which began operation in February.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the new bus routes for a wider story on transport in north Auckland. How overdue are these services? Where are Rodney's transport gaps? Do you support the existence of a Rodney Transport Targeted Rate?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
