Hi Auckland,

Could adult swings be coming to a playground near you? Auckland is looking at benefits of playgrounds for oldies, in bid to become 'age-friendly'. A council discussion document says playing can help with continued cognitive development and even reverse cognitive decline in seniors with dementia.
So, would you use a playground for adults?

Flood warnings for Auckland + Northland this weekend

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

MetService is monitoring a weather system that may coincide with king tides expected over the weekend. This will cause flooding in low-lying coastal areas, particularly around the high-tides on Sunday.

There is also the possibility of a deep low moving southeastwards over the upper North Island during Sunday, delivering severe gale easterlies to exposed parts of the area.

- People are advised to keep up to date with the latest MetService forecasts in case some parts of this Watch are upgraded to a full weather warning, or other areas are added.
- Take extra precautions along the coast, consider your travel routes and never drive through floodwaters.
- Auckland Emergency Managment warned travellers to take extra precautions along the coast, consider travel routes and to never drive through floodwaters.
- Read more about the impending weather here.

Note, King tides and large northeast swell are forecast during this time. The combination of strong easterly winds and lowering air pressures associated with such a deep low could cause an inundation to coasts exposed to the north and east.

What are your thoughts on people hunting and gathering in urban areas?

Reporter North Shore Times

Hi neighbours. Since we ran 'Grisly discovery at creek' in our July 3 paper, we have had emails and phone calls from Browns Bay residents advising us people have been attempting, and sadly successfully catching, some of Taiaotea Creek's eels.

Since we ran 'Grisly discovery at creek' in our July 3 paper, we have had emails and phone calls from Browns Bay residents advising us people have been attempting, and sadly successfully catching, some of Taiaotea Creek's eels. This is despite eeling not being allowed in Auckland Council's parks or reserves. Have you come across people catching eels in your local stream? Do you think signage should be erected warning people eeling is not allowed? What are your thoughts on people foraging in urban areas? Put NFP in your post if it is not for publication.
