Auckland Business Chamber's chief executive Michael Barnett said there had been a significant amount of disruption, and better diversions and communication could have reduced this. What do you think about the incident? How do you feel about the city's roads?

Do you have bunions and think that surgery is the only answer?

Corrective Foot Solutions

Bunions affect 1 in 3 New Zealanders they can lead to pain and discomfort, which affects mobility, balance and quality of life. That’s not to mention the look of them and the difficulty of fitting shoes.

We’ve decided to run a special offer for people with bunions - “Bunion Evaluation” for only $33 (worth $85). Offer valid 11/07/2019 - 25/07/19

Many doctors and podiatrists believe that surgery is the only way to fix a bunion. This is not true. Bunion surgery is painful and doesn’t address the underlying cause of a bunion, which is generally the way we walk and stand. Ideally, surgery should be considered as a last treatment option for bunions.

At Corrective Foot Solutions, we use a gentle, hands-on technique to effectively treat and correct bunions – which means there’s no need for surgery or orthotics. We use Foot Mobilisation Therapy to correct the underlying cause of your bunion by working on the misalignments in the foot, as well as strengthening the weakened muscles around the joints.

Pop in and see us at 272 level 3b Parnell Rd, Parnell, Auckland or give us a call on 092129250

The opportunity for a preview of their tasting, features at the New Zealand School of Food and Wine, on Sunday 28 July heightens the anticipation of what will be a fascinating event.

Pegasus Bay, from Waipara in North Canterbury, released its first Riesling in 1993 and today its grapes are sourced primarily from un-grafted vineyards planted over 30 years ago. Edward Donaldson also believes that while ripe fruits dominate the wine when young, given the opportunity to age, the rieslings can feel drier on the palate especially as they develop more savoury, caramel and tertiary notes.

The New Zealand Wine and Food Event is an annual three-day public event in Auckland comprising a showcase of New Zealand and international wine, cooking workshops and master classes.

We have a reasonably sized patch of grass (although it's a bit on the lumpy/muddy side) and I'm keen to tidy it up, maybe start a veggie patch. But I have no idea where to begin. Does anyone have any experience starting something from scratch? Any advice for a novice gardener (if you had one tip for me what would it be)? Or good websites / books to take a look at? Cheers :)

Sandblaster needed for Everybody Eats

Hi Neighbours,

We need help to re-furbish our charitable restaurant in Onehunga so we can get up and running and continue feeding bellies, not bins! Can you help?

We are looking for a sandblaster to do a site visit next week to check out one of the many jobs we have to get done - we need the painted plaster blasted off to expose the original concrete walls.

Everybody Eats is a multi-award winning charitable dining concept. We take food that would otherwise go to waste and turn it into restaurant-quality meals. Our customers can pay whatever they like, even if it's nothing, for nutritious and freshly prepared food. We aim to be part of solving three huge problems we have in NZ: food waste, food poverty, and social isolation. Everybody Eats is not a soup kitchen, we provide our diners with a three-course meal served at shared tables, which encourages them to interact with our volunteers and other diners.

The pay-as-you-feel model is inclusive; it allows people who can afford to pay for a meal to do so, and perhaps contribute to future meals while giving more vulnerable people an opportunity to enjoy a dignified experience without feeling any guilt or stigma. We work almost exclusively with food that would otherwise go to waste which we get from New World and Kiwiharvest mostly. We are hugely collaborative and work with a lot of NZ's top chefs including Josh Emmet, Ben Bayly, Javier Carmona and Dariush Lolaiy.

We have been running a very busy and successful pop-up at Auckland's Gemmayze St. We operated permanently for 6 months in Avondale before realising we needed our own, larger, purpose-designed premise. We have a lease starting 1 July of an amazing building in Onehunga that we need to convert into something special for the community to come together.

We are hoping you will see this as a great way to get involved in a local project, helping those in need and bringing the community together, so will be able to provide labour free or at cost to support our fit out. What we can offer in return is exposure through our social media channels - Facebook, just under 11k and Instagram just under 5.5k. Because we are a charity we get really good organic reach and have one of the highest engagement rates I know of, which means we get a lot of likes, comments and clicks compared to most.

You can contact me through here or call/text me on 021856884 or email ajbutlander9@gmail.com

Thanks for your time
