The NZ Transport Agency is
advising that motorists can expect minor delays from around
7pm tonight as temporary traffic management will be in place
on State Highway 1 from the bottom of Pukerua Bay Hill to
just south of the Fisherman’s Table Restaurant at
Paekakariki. The traffic management is needed to allow
repair work on a nearby seawall and footpath, and to clear
debris from the highway following the weekend’s
storms.
From 7pm stop/go traffic management will be in
place just south of the Fisherman’s Table Restaurant area.
When this work is finished mobile lane closures will be used
along the full length of the road from the wire rope barrier
section at Pukerua Bay to the Fisherman’s Table
Restaurant.
The temporary path reinstatement is expected
to be in place by the morning of Tuesday 26 July, meaning
that the path will be opened again. More permanent
strengthening work will be programmed for a later date, with
the impacts on the state highway and the footpath
communicated to the local community well in
advance.

Five years on from the mosque shootings, this is one of the cultural headwinds that the Muslim community has to battle against. Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn. Any number of movie examples come to mind, beginning with Rudolf Valentino’s role (over a century ago) as the romantic Arab hero in The Sheik... More
