Drop-in Sessions

We want to hear your thoughts on proposed improvements to Morrinsville Road. We’re looking to make it safer and easier for people walking, scootering, and biking – especially school children and the local community. The improvements are 100% funded by NZTA Waka Kotahi. Come and chat with the project team at our drop-in sessions:

Berkley Normal School Performing Arts Centre; Tuesday, 28 October, 5pm – 7pm and Saturday, 1 November, 11am-1pm

An article on this topic on the Tamahere Forum offers some thoughts for you to consider. Once the planning is done discussing the prospect of whether to close Matangi Road or not will be of great interest and further consultation with Matangi residents.
