Query: Forward Planning!
Speaking of increased road traffic (especially North of UH) reminded me that when Timberlea was established as a new suburb (mid 1970's), it was recognised UH North was in for a growth spurt. Land was set aside (by Government I presume) for an Intermediate School and dairy (Norana Rd), a Secondary School (Emerald Hill stage one) and a Hospital (Emerald Hill Stage ? Timberlea end). All those areas are now housing! Oh and one school closed! Seems can't get access to highway so not sub divided yet.
Demand for services has grown but facilities remain the same. Hence more vehicles needed to transport to existing sites. More residential areas are popping up throughout the UH area, but where are the services?

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)
