Takanini School has submitted a formal request to Auckland Transport raising concerns about the presence of large heavy vehicles travelling along Takanini School Road in front of the school’s main entrance.

The school is seeking support to encourage freight operators to use alternative routes where possible, in order to reduce interactions between students and heavy vehicles. This would also help to minimise noise and vibration impacts on the school buildings.
