Images of life during lockdown in Kaipatiki are portrayed in a newly released book.

The edition follows an initiative by the Birkenhead, Beach Haven and Birkdale residents' associations inviting residents to upload photographs taken during Auckland's first lockdown in 2020.

"We started this as a way to create and celebrate a sense of community during unprecedented times and to capture a snapshot of life under lockdown for future generations," said Birkenhead Residents Association chair Gillian Taylor.

“We were really inspired by people’s creativity which showed that spirit and resilience with images depicting the Bear Hunt, pavement art along with new ways to celebrate Easter and Anzac Day.

“There are other great photos people captured at home, through their windows and on their neighbourhood walks as well as the almost desolate scenes of roads empty of traffic or shoppers,” she said.

Commemorative books have been printed thanks to a grant from Kaipatiki Local Board.

These are displayed at the Northcote, Birkenhead and Glenfield libraries as well as the local board office.

The images can still be viewed and uploaded online.

Carlile House in Auckland’s Grey Lynn is slowly crumbling away.

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.

A “treasured” Māori carving stolen from an apartment building has been found in bushes not far away.

The carving was stolen from the Fernz Motel and Apartments in Birkenhead, on Auckland’s North Shore, on April 28.

A man was captured on CCTV taking the “unique” piece, then leaving on an e-scooter.

It was found by a member of public over the weekend and has been returned to its owners, police said.

An investigation into the theft is continuing, and police are appealing for the public to help identify the man seen on CCTV.

He was wearing a grey hoodie over white overalls when he was caught on camera just after 5am.

“Why would someone be wearing these distinctive white overalls early in the morning?” detective constable Alistair Harford said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 105, quoting file number 210428/9644.
