Hi there
Does anybody drive into Warkworth around 6:30am on a Tuesday and Thursday morning. My son has rugby training at Mahurangi college at 7am and would love a lift in from 1239 Ahuroa Rd. Will pay towards petrol.
Thanks in advance

Dear Neighbour,
Work went well last night during the road closure, but with the bad weather progress was slower than expected. We now require another night to complete this work and need to close the road again tonight, Wednesday 27 May. We will endeavour to finish the work tonight, but it may again depend on the weather conditions, I will keep you updated.
If business have any deliveries that were due tonight, give me a call/email and we can discuss options.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

AND ON ANOTHER NON MOTORWAY- RELATED TOPIC -RUBBISH COLLECTION CHANGES
It is official – the Northern Waste company’s (orange bag ) weekly kerbside collection, formerly on Tuesdays, will change in June to coincide with the fortnightly Auckland Council (green and yellow wheelie bin) Thursday recycling collection. The starting date for both systems will be Thursday, June 11 2020.
To summarise: Two collection systems, one weekly, the other fortnightly, but both on the same day, Thursday. Makes sense?

A follow up message from Glen Ashton:
The Consultation period closes TODAY.
Important – part of Ahuroa Road new seal looks like a one-lane section
I was emailed this letter that has gone to a few of the residents on Ahuroa Road.
There is more detail and a drawing … and consultation closes today on 20th May!
The section that will be one-lane is on the Ahuroa downhill side where there is a slip into the bush … seems they do not want to spend the money on benching and retaining?
Proposed design
So if you feel similarly and haven’t already done so email the AT address at consultation@tes.net.nz, and our Local Board member Beth Houlbrooke Beth.Houlbrooke@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz and tell them what you think of the idea.
Hi
Residents on Ahuroa Road recently got a consultation document from Auckland Transport concerning a proposed section of 1-lane roading being established on the Ahuroa Road hill section.
Some may have thought, as I initially did, that the consultation was about interim 1-lane arrangements during construction. However on re-reading the document I reckon it is intended to be permanent.
Having lived on Ahuroa Road since 1994, seeing the traffic volumes rising especially over the last 8-10 years, seen the sealing programme stall for around 12 years, and now hearing from AT that they would like to make part of our road 1-way to say I’m irritated is putting it very politely. Especially as the reason given on the letter is to “avoid excessive cost”. Absolutely nothing said about the expected impact on road users.
One can’t but feel that lurking feeling of rural communities coming off second-best at the hands of AT under the supercity, especially given Ahuroa Road is so busy now.
The Consultation period closes on the 20th ie this Wednesday. So if you feel similarly and haven’t already done so email the AT address at consultation@tes.net.nz, and our Local Board member Beth Houlbrooke Beth.Houlbrooke@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz and tell them what you think of the idea.

Hi everyone,
Please see the attached image which outlines a notice from the Auckland Regional Fire Service about moving into an open fire season as of today.
It should be noted, that other sources have stated that fires should be avoided until we’re out of Level 3; so you may want to hold off just one more day to ‘Play it Safe’? – The checkitsalright.nz site still has this notice on it today.
Dear Neighbour,
I hope this email finds you safe and well as we learn to adjust to new ways of living to reduce the risk of COVID-19, we acknowledge this is a difficult and uncertain time for all of us.
In late March 2020, the Ara Tūhono – Pūhoi to Warkworth structures team had almost finished the night works installing large beams on the Arawhiti ki Pūhoi Bridge across Pūhoi Road. However, work was stopped as we moved to Covid-19 Alert Level 4 on 26 March. Our team now needs three more nights to finish the beam installation, and we plan to start these works on Sunday 24 May. Please see the attached Works Notification for your reference.
For safety reasons and to minimise disruption, the work will be carried out at night. A small section of Pūhoi Road will be closed at night from Sunday 24 May to Tuesday 26 May between 9:00 pm to 04:30 am. Signposted detours and traffic management will be in place. Please note the dates are weather dependant and may be postponed if necessary.
Please be assured that we are focused on ensuring the health and safety of our staff and the public during this time and request that physical distancing requirements be respected. Please do not approach our teams or enter our work sites without formal approval.
I will continue to keep you update on the night time closures and any works that will be happing in the future near Pūhoi.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
