Ponsonby Road - Auckland Transport plans to ruin Ponsonby Road and environs.
Auckland Transport is ruining Ponsonby Road.
We the undersigned, request that the consultation process currently underway by Auckland Transport - regarding Ponsonby Road be recalled, redesigned and delivered in a much more appropriate and statistically valid manner.
Local residents, business owners, families and visitors who enjoy both Ponsonby Road and the local community request that Auckland Transport (AT) ceases the "consultation process" currently underway.
The current "consultation" process is grossly inappropriate, rushed, difficult to respond to - and will not provide a quality range of valid feedback.
The Auckland Transport Flyer - posted on 03 December 2020 with a demand that feedback is submitted online by 06 December 2020, (just four days) is far too hasty, provides inappropriate timelines and will not fairly represent the views of the majority.
The submission process is confusing and unnecessarily complex, and includes a phone number (09)3666400 for feedback that is not answered during the weekend (two of the four days available for responses) by skilled researchers.
The residents of St Heliers managed to stop AT and thereby ensure that the quality of life they enjoy was not destroyed by Auckland Transport - after AT proceeded with their own plans to “improve" (read "Ruin") West Lynn, Karangahape Road and Mt Albert.
We require that Auckland Transport engage more closely with the residents of Ponsonby, St Mary’s Bay, Freemans Bay, Herne Bay, Westmere and Grey Lynn and interested parties - through a series of publicly notified community meetings and meaningful research that ensures the views of ALL interested parties are requested, understood and accepted.
Speed Calming measures are not needed in side roads, or at stop signs, no more unused cycleways on main thoroughfares are needed, no more "mini traffic islands" are warranted and more free parking is required for businesses to thrive so that the community can then enjoy Ponsonby Road and the rest of the local suburbs - without any further interference from Auckland Transport and Auckland Council.
Auckland Transport – Stop imposing your own views on Ponsonby!

Allow Essential Maintenance of Golf Courses During Lockdown Period
MBIE have determined that golf course turf maintenance is not an essential service during the Covid-19 lockdown period. If critical parts of any golf course (namely putting greens) do not receive basic maintenance over the shutdown period, the task of restoring the greens to required standards/conditions may not be achievable or affordable for many golf clubs. The long term financial impacts for these clubs, and consequently for the many NZ’ers who enjoy the game, will be far reaching. Please

A vote of no confidence in the Mayor and Several councillors of the DCC
I have started this petition which will be presented to the Minister for Local Government. The Mayor and several councillors have pushed through policies with little or no public consultation,the latest being the change of speed to 10kmh in the CBD .This was done by the Mayor using the Covid 19 argument it will be better for the public and reduce the risk of infection . This happened within a matter of days and the signs were already printed before the vote at council was done. This was also do

Re-open the sale yards
COVID-19 shut down our sale yards but now we desperately need to have these re-opened, particularly in areas like Hawke's Bay where severe drought is having a major impact. Hawke's Bay farmers are currently facing what may be the worst drought in history, and the situation is compounded by the loss of the sale yards - an avenue of selling that the majority of farmers know well and have ultilised in the past. Other regions are also under significant feed pressure and would benefit from sale yards

Name the NorthConnex Tunnel after Jim Adams.
This petition is to show support for the naming of the NorthConnex Tunnel after Jim Adams who lost his life during the construction of the tunnel on May 23rd 2017. To name this tunnel after a well respected man is a small token of appreciation for both the memory of Jim and his family.

TE WIWI NĀTI HAPŪ CLUSTER PETITION: THE ROAD
Our road from and between the Kaiinanga Hill to the end of the Tikapa and Awanui Roads is often unsafe and inaccessible, especially in the wet months. Whānau still live in that valley, and people travel in and out daily for work, for school, or to visit other whānau. We are often not able to attend our marae hui. The Ambulance and Fire Services often can't attend emergencies there. We are asking that the Gisborne District Council repair the road. No more short-term patch-ups. We need our

Let butchers open during the lockdown
Many people including myself buy their meat at independent butchers rather than the supermarket. Now the butchers have been told they have to close as they are 'non-essential'. We, the signers of this petition, disagree. It is unfair and makes no sense. A dairy and a greengrocer can open but a butcher next door cannot. Supermarkets shouldn't be given a monopoly on the sale of meat. See also: Coronavirus: Piles of meat to be given away, thrown out after butchers told they're not an 'essential bu
