Auckland's April storm
Hi Neighbours,
On April 10 and 11 this year, Auckland was hit by its worst storm in a decade. The storm costs the insurance industry $74.4 million , and prompted Auckland Mayor Phil Goff to commit $40 million to ensure Auckland is prepared for future natural events.
We want to know of any walkways, beach access points, ramps and stairs that still need attention from Auckland Council. Let us know in the comments if there are any of these near you, or email me at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz if you have any photos.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
