Rayner Road Residents: Sandra Coney from the Waitakere Ranges Local Board has talked to Brinkleys who notified residents they were working in the road from this Friday to build a retaining wall where there is a slip. They mentioned in that letter that the road would be open only to residents. On the phone, they assured me they are not going to stop any residents or non-residents using the road. If someone needs to get to your house they will be able to. They will just have a STOP-GO operating. They have permission from AT. If you want to talk to the firm ring Luke Brinkley on 021 0203 7800.
