Public Meeting: Cell tower antennas outside bedroom windows

Mike from Bayview

Despite what the Telcos may tell you, there is plenty of scientific evidence suggesting that locating antennas right outside bedroom windows is a really bad idea. Small cell 5G antennas are planned right outside homes and schools, despite many independent, peer-reviewed studies showing adverse health effects. www.emf-solutions.co.nz... www.safertechnz.co.nz...
Your neighbourhood, your street, your home, your bedroom window could be next. If this is a concern for you, come along to the public meeting in Devonport and hear well-informed, evidence-based information from speakers including Dr. Robin Kelly (Family Physician), Dr. Wendy Pond (Social Anthropologist) and Alexei Yachine (Electrical Engineer). Local residents will discuss an action plan to seek relocation of antennas to safer, more distant sites.

Smoke in Mt Wellington

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.

Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.

Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.

Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.

A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.

At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
