From today, park bosses are closing the gates at Myers Dr and the Olive Grove until 9.30am on weekdays, to prevent commuters attempting to use the park's roads as a shortcut between Manukau Rd and Green Lane East. "The park's purpose, and the reason it was gifted to Aucklanders, is for it to be a place of recreation for everyone, and this is not consistent with high volumes of often fast through-traffic," park director Michael Ayrton said. He suggested commuters might actually find it faster to use main roads anyway. "I think if you drive down Greenlane West and turn left and go down Manukau Rd, you'll find it's quite a bit quicker than cutting through the park, which contains 25 speed humps and three pedestrian crossings." Ayrton said the gate closure will allow people to walk their dog, go for a jog or enjoy the spring daffodils in the mornings, without the stream of vehicles. There will still be vehicle access from 7am through four other gates - and weekend and public holiday opening times will not change. The feedback had been mixed about the change, Ayrton said. "The majority of our regular park users are pleased to see it. But this is nothing new, we've had a number of car-less days in the park in the past couple of years ... I think more and more people are getting used to the idea."

NZ Post admitted the delivery person had left the voting papers on the footpath, but said it took the responsibility of delivering voting papers "very seriously".
Do you think online voting would help eliminate the risk of election fraud?

The Coh, a luxury boarding house, has been so popular since opening on Symonds St on July 22 that its owner is planning to open another. What do you think of the co-living concept? Would you try it?

Experts say the trend is likely due to a lack of affordable housing and is causing overcrowding . Are there many "ghost houses" in your area?

More than seven in 10 said the biggest reason they didn't do so was because of animal welfare, and about half cited fire safety. Environmental reasons were cited by 39 per cent, disturbing neighbours 34 per cent and personal safety 30 per cent. Countdown general manager merchandise, Scott Davidson, said declining interest and conversations with store teams led to the decision. "Our customers have told us that while they still love to celebrate special occasions such as Matariki, Diwali, Chinese New Year and Guy Fawkes, backyard fireworks at home are becoming less of an occasion than they used to be. "We've decided to leave it to the professionals and we think the vast majority of our customers and our team will agree with this." The move is supported by the SPCA, which earlier this year led a multi-agency study that found a majority of New Zealanders supported a ban on the public sale of fireworks. SPCA CEO Andrea Midgen said fireworks can be terrifying to animals. "Whether that's on Guy Fawkes night or at any other time of the year," she said. "Every year animals are injured, frightened, go missing or occasionally suffer abuse related to fireworks."
