Kia ora Auckland,

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.

Clearing out under the house...

John from HomeDownsize

Cleared out under a house as the house was being sold. The job didn't take long and some of the items pulled out were recycled as well as sold on which saved on dumping charges as well as the final bill.

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.
