April 2022 Board Member Report

1st April – 30th April

This month, it was great to start back at events in person, with a real highlight for me being the Youth Leadership Sustainability Wananga that the Manukau Harbour Forum funds. The program has around 50 rangatahi learning about sustainability, matauranga māori and how they can improve the environment. Some of these students have been doing it for four years and have grown into real leaders, including head prefects at their schools. In the transport space, construction continued on the Hillsborough roundabout. This project has been long-awaited, but has had multiple issues during construction, including a pole being placed in the footpath! We worked with AT to get this remedied and await the project’s final outcome. I also continued working on fixing footpaths, reported holes left in the roadway after investigation works, feedback on consultations and shared the Maioro Street dynamic lanes project that is being consulted on currently. It was concerning to read the recently completed research showing Auckland’s roads are twice as dangerous as other big cities for cyclists and pedestrians. It shows how important it is we continue our work to improve safety for these road users.
