Brian from New Lynn

The minimum wage will be increased by $1.20 an hour to $17.70. The move has been lauded by Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Iain Lees-Galloway.

The move has been lauded by Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Iain Lees-Galloway. "On a 40-hour work week, this means an extra $48 a week before tax," he said. "This will make a real difference to low-income workers." This increase will pave the way for further increases in the minimum wage, according to Mr Lees-Galloway. "Lifting the incomes of Kiwi workers will contribute to improved living standards and reduce poverty. Our Government has committed to increasing the minimum wage to $20 by 2021." Starting-out and training wages will also increase on Monday to $14.16 per hour to keep them at 80 per cent of the adult minimum wage.

Pothole in the New Lynn Memorial library carpark.

You may have seen my letter in the Western Leader?
Four months ago, I rang Auckland Council about a metre wide, and 6' deep pothole in the library car park.
Simple repair, with contractor putting some base metal, compacting, then hot mix.

You may have seen my letter in the Western Leader?
Four months ago, I rang Auckland Council about a metre wide, and 6' deep pothole in the library car park.
Simple repair, with contractor putting some base metal, compacting, then hot mix.
At the MOST 3 hours.
But NO, have been at a tennis match, as Auckland Transport, say it is NOT their problem?
Auckland Council say it is NOT their problem.
Mean while this VERY dangerous bend, will cause a maybe serious accident.
Rang this week, and now after unknown emails, and different case numbers, the simple pothole, MIGHT be repaired. Not sure if any of you have seen this or had to avoid it.
Sick of seeing signs "Our Rates Working For You" when they don't.


The problem is people coming into the library car park, face cars leaving the car park?
The people leaving, see the pothole, drive to the right side, there by having chance of incoming cars.
Will keep informed.
