Make Waiuku‘s bus service serve the town

Reroute the existing bus services, (which only take people in and out of the township), to travel around the town when coming both into and going out of town, following, for example the route the old Steel Mill shift buses used. This could be a pickup/drop off in Hamilton Estate, the end of Racecourse Rd, the end of Sandspit Rd & George St area, with town centre stops coming in and out. This gives a better utilisation of the buses, and enables non-drivers and people without access to cars, to get into the town centre, helping keep locals in Waiuku to shop etc. Eg. it is approximately 2kms from the end of Racecourse Rd to the nearest bus stop and even further for Sandspit Rd making use of the bus impractical for many.

More Playgrounds

We would love to see a new playground built in the new subdivision of Glenbrook Beach and upgrade and better access to the existing Playground. This Community is growing at a face pace and we need the kids to have a cool space they can help look after and hang out at!

Ferry Service on the Manukau

Clarks Beach to Onehunga and back for example, or out to Whatipu (if the wharf is rebuilt), as that would be a great tourist / weekend activity, and getting ferries on the harbour would help highlight what a great asset the harbour is and make people take better care of it.

I would like to see a pedestrian crossing from the Maraetai Bowling club car park to the Maraetai school as parents use this area to park

This is required for safety as several parents cross the road to pick up their children.

Can Beachlands and Maraetai have the water mains bought closer to the area so that the delivery tankers can have a quicker turn around time
