Bring back the old days - Kingseat /Carrington

Sarnia from Auckland Central

We need to be proactive. Nip it in the bud. Do what works!!!!! We need to relieve police, courts, hospitals, prisons and reopen the time out / mental hospitals where it takes 2 family signatures and in you go. Yes you don't want to go in there. You made to take medications, food and to behave … View moreWe need to be proactive. Nip it in the bud. Do what works!!!!! We need to relieve police, courts, hospitals, prisons and reopen the time out / mental hospitals where it takes 2 family signatures and in you go. Yes you don't want to go in there. You made to take medications, food and to behave etc otherwise the restraints are used. Yes you lose your freedom for as long as it's needed. But you come out detoxed / safe and vowing not to go through that again until you on the straight and narrow. It worked for some of my family / extended family in the old days so i thoroughly recommend this system. Cruel to be kind etc. Our population has doubled so we need twice as many (like roads and housing).

A good House Painter

Rachel from Grey Lynn

Hi Neighbours,
I've just got some quotes for exterior house painting of an old villa. These are large when you add in the scaffolding cost - which will be extra. Can you recommend a good painter?

Poll: Are you in favour of the new cycleway being trialled in Auckland's CBD?

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Cyclists will have additional spots to lock up their bikes with new facilities installed as part of a cycleway trial.

Project WAVE is a $1 million cycleway trial in the Viaduct Harbour to connect the Quay and Nelson Street cycleways that could have over a thousand daily users.

Auckland Transport (AT) confirmed two new bike parking facilities able to accommodate 16 bikes have been installed as part of the trial, taking the total number of bike parks along the cycleway to 56.

The project is opposed by a group of residents and business owners.

The two new bike parking facilities are located on Customs Street West between Market Place and Lower Hobson Street. One is located near the Tepid Baths, and one is near O’Hagan’s bar.

The area now has enough space for around 56 bikes, as there were already existing facilities to accommodate 40 bikes before Project WAVE was implemented.

AT spokeswoman Natalie Polley said there are also numerous new bike parking facilities on Quay Street and in the new square as part of the Downtown project.

"That doesn’t even take into account bike parking at the ferry terminal, the AT Downtown Carpark and at many other locations on the Viaduct,” she said.
