Auckland Emergency Services are asking people to stay away from West Coast beach communities which are trying to recover from last week’s storm.

What you need to know:
- The affected beaches are Piha, Karekare, Bethells, Muriwai, Huia and Little Huia
- The beaches have been closed to non-residents only
- The closures are for safety and to ensure road repairs can take place

“While there is road access into Piha, it’s limited and we’re asking people not to go to Piha to go surfing or picnicking, I know we may have a fine weekend coming up but to stay away out of respect for those communities,” Duty controller Mace Ward says.

Te Atatu Food Truck Fridays is still on tonight (February 3rd). Things have been pretty grim over the last month with cancelled events and rain deluges that we thought we all need a good night out.

We will have a fantastic line up of Auckland's best street food, FREE ReCreators poi—making workshop, the repair café will be running to get your household items repaired for free and our regular tunes to light up this long weekend.

The line-up will be Captain Kaimoana, Jo Bro’s burgers, Texas Taco Trailer, Lango Lady - Hungarian Fried Bread, The Flying Rib and Ice Cream Social.

There are carparks available in the Te Atatu South Community Centre carpark. Unfortunately, the overflowing parking on the grass field won’t be available due to all the recent rain. Walking or biking up can make it easier.

Plenty of seating is available inside the main hall or outside in the courtyard.

Stay around a while and the fun community vibes and dress for the weather. We run 4:30pm to 8:30pm Te Atatu South Community Centre.
