Poll: Should Waka Kotahi NZTA allow a cycle lane trial over the Auckland Harbour Bridge?

Kia ora koutou. Two lanes on the Auckland Harbour Bridge were closed for a period on Sunday, as cyclists took over two northbound lanes.

The rally was organised by Bike Auckland, which is calling for Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency to allocate one of the structure’s eight lanes to cyclists for three months over summer, when traffic is at its quietest.

Bike Auckland chairwoman Barb Cuthbert​ said securing a way across the Waitematā Harbour for cyclists was “the most important cycling issue in Auckland”.

But NZTA spokesman Brett Gliddon said making traffic lanes on the Harbour Bridge available to cyclists in the short term was “not as simple as some advocates imply”.

“The bridge was not designed for a walking and cycling function, and there are true and genuine safety and wider network issues that need to be worked through and balanced,” he said.

Covid-19: MP slams anti-vax group for leaflet drop in week vaccine clinic opens

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

Northcote MP Shanan Halbert has slammed an anti-vaccination group for delivering its discredited leaflets the same week the area’s vaccination clinic opened.

The Voices for Freedom leaflet, delivered in the Northcote and Birkenhead areas on the North Shore, included eight points that cast doubt on the safety or efficacy of the vaccine.

Auckland University vaccinologist and associate professor Helen Petousis-Harris recently discredited the leaflet.

Halbert said he got five complaints from locals who had received the leaflet in their mailboxes this week.

“It’s disappointing people are actively trying to spread misinformation around our community and prey on people who are vaccination hesitant already.”

He believed the leaflet had been designed to scaremonger locals and delivered to align with the opening of the North Shore’s first vaccination clinic in the Highbury Shopping Centre on Monday.

“This is a direct action on their behalf to undermine our local vaccine centre and to stop our local people from going in and being immunised.”

Tēnā koutou. An Auckland dog owner is consulting with psychic mediums in the hopes of getting her pooch back alive.

Kohimarama resident Mary Trautvetter​ was house-sitting for friends in Castor Bay on the North Shore on April 14 when her dog, Rocky, was frightened by thunder and ran off.

The little white maltese and lhasa apso cross has been lost ever since.

“I’m just in pieces,” Trautvetter said, adding that Rocky had helped her through some tough life events, including a mental breakdown and a divorce.

She has even consulted with psychic mediums in a desperate attempt for information. Red Beach-based psychic medium Kerry-Marie Callander​ told Stuff she believes it is possible someone has taken Rocky in.

The person might not be on social media or know that people are looking for the dog, she said, adding that perhaps mainstream media – like the local newspaper – might be the best way to reach them.

Click 'read more' for the full report. Please contact Mary Trautvetter at soinsvisage@gmail.com if you have any information regarding Rocky's whereabouts.

This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.

As a mostly volunteer-led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!

Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (20-26 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:
