Adina Thorn is concerned about the issues and the interests of the home owner victims affected by the Southern Motorway works in Conifer Grove and surrounding areas.
Residents of a south Auckland suburb are lawyering up and plan to take on the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), saying construction on a neighbouring motorway has damaged their homes.
The Conifer Grove homeowners say it’s not just their properties that have suffered, but also their mental health.
Widening work on the Southern Motorway outside Conifer Grove has been going on since April 2016. It was supposed to be completed by late 2018.
“I don’t know how they haven’t managed to finish what they’ve been doing. And the motorway now is even worse,” says resident Gayleen Smith.
