Coming Up – Unitary Plan

More Information – and Some Rather Large Corrections

 

I have returned from a briefing on the Unitary Plan post February 28th. I will get a post up tomorrow on what came out of the briefing. This includes two corrections from my previous commentary on the Unitary Plan. The first correction on the term “Commissioners,” and the second correction on the Further Submission period due to start in May.

Talking Auckland does take care when providing facts. From time to time I get it wrong and will post corrections as soon as I am made aware of them.

 

Be tuned in for tomorrow – at Talking Auckland

 

Weekend Transport Open Mic

Leave Your Comments

 

This weekend as we know Auckland is hosting a series of events (NRL 9’s, The Rapture Concert last night, and the Lantern Festival) which is causing pressure on our transport system (private and public).

I am hearing both positive and negative comments from yesterday and no doubt today. Just to put it out there by 3pm yesterday Britomart Station had “processed” 17,000 people through the Gate-Line that were heading OUTBOUND. The numbers do not include inbound or Line Transfers (Eastern Line to Western Line as an example). That is record-breaking numbers – even breaking the Rugby World Cup opening night (a night I tend to forget).

 

That said I am opening this post for your comments and feedback from the weekend events on transport. Whether on the road, waiting for a bus, or on the train this weekend leave your comments below. Please remember The Rules when posting. Also if you are a first time commenter your comments are held in moderation until I approve or reject them. Once approved you are free to comment on the blog.

 

So I leave the mic to you. Auckland Council and Auckland Transport do watch the blog so no doubt they will see your comments. Again play the ball not the man please in your comments. I am off to hit the South Western Motorway to avoid Southern Motorway traffic so wish me luck there.

 

Over to you – the reader.
