Should Queen Street be car-free?
Major roading upgrades are set to get underway on Queen Street which the council says will improve pedestrian spaces.
The work is set to begin on Monday between Shortland and Customs streets, limiting traffic to a single lane each way and with bus priority in the evening peak.
Some have expressed their concerns for the project including a group of businesses and landlords calling itself Save Queen. The group applied for an interim injunction to halt the council's planned Queen St upgrade and a High Court Judge will decide whether to approve the injunction later today.
Should the upgrade go even further and ban passenger vehicles altogether? Let us know in the comments and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comment used in your local community paper.

New Zealand’s oldest phone and internet infrastructure is slowly being retired as Chorus continues to modernise and future-proof the broadband network. After the first landline telephones arrived in New Zealand in 1881, a copper phone line network was built across the country, ultimately reaching 98 percent of us where we live and work.
This copper network which has served Kiwis well for their landline and more recently, internet needs, for over a century is now becoming redundant.

It's Mother's Day on Sunday.
The event was founded by Philadelphia resident Anna Jarvis whose mother had organised women's groups to promote friendship and help.
On May 12, 1907, Jarvis held a memorial service at her late mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia and five years later, nearly every state was observing the day.
Jarvis started Mother's Day to honour the sacrifices women made for their children after her own mum died in 1905.
In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a measure recognising the second Sunday in May as the official day.
How are you planning to spend the day?

Its owners, the United Church of Tonga, claim the land’s significance as home to the first Tongan congregation in New Zealand is being neglected by Auckland Council, in favour of its history as an orphanage, preventing the site from being developed.
Because of the building's status as a category one historic place and a stalemate with Auckland Council, Carlile House cannot be repaired or demolished.
However, the situation has recently become of higher concern to both parties, following the recent partial collapse of the building’s roof.

Fun buns bought from Bakers Delight in May will support vulnerable children through the annual KidsCan campaign.
People can support the one in five New Zealand children experiencing hardship by buying fun buns or adding a $1 donation to their purchase.
KidsCan is working with 829 low decile schools and 110 early childhood centres to provide more than 200,000 children with the essentials.
Bakers Delight franchisees and customers have raised more than $110,000 for KidsCan during the past three years, providing children with nutritious food, jackets, shoes and health items.
This year they aim to raise $40,000 for the charity which has seen a spike in the number of children in need.
"... With more than 4000 children waiting for help we need support now more than ever,” said KidsCan chief executive officer Julie Chapman.
Many families are still feeling the effects of the financial fallout from Covid-19.
"After a year of so much uncertainty, there has never been a better time to bring communities across New Zealand together to raise funds for such an important cause," said Bakers Delight joint chief executive officer Elise Gillespie.

The caution follows capture of the creature which was hoping to spend a relaxing weekend on an island in the gulf.
The mouse was spotted darting out of a passenger's bag and scurrying onto a pest-free warranted vessel.
“This is a timely reminder of why bio-security practices are so important and why we ask passengers and boaties to check their gear carefully before heading out onto the gulf,” said Hauraki Gulf bio-security manager Liz Brooks.
“Most of the gulf islands are pest free and home to a wide range of rare and endangered birds. The “check, clean, close” message is a serious one and there to help protect those native birds.’
The mouse remained at large for three days, eluding all attempts of capture before Auckland Council's bio-security team called in Rosie the rodent detection dog.
She uncovered a chewed glove in the passenger's bag where the mouse had been living.
Rosie soon tracked down the mouse's hiding place, traps were set and the stowaway was caught.
"We were lucky the mouse was spotted before it had the opportunity to get onshore on one of the many pest-free islands," said dog handler Kerryn Johnson.
