Chair role change at Albert-Eden Local Board
The Albert-Eden Local Board chair is set to change on May 22.
Lee Corrick will assume duties as chair and Margi Watson will become deputy chair.
Outgoing chair Margi Watson said it had been her privilege to serve the Albert-Eden communities.
"Over this duration we have achieved good outcomes for the area in spite of the challenges COVID-19 brought and I’m proud of the work we have done.
"... I'm looking forward to supporting Lee in her new role and continuing to work with her as deputy chair. "
It is not unusual for local boards to share roles throughout the three-year term, Auckland Council said.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
