Balmoral Fire Station

Mark Griffin from Fire and Emergency New Zealand

Good afternoon everyone

This is a notice to inform you all that the Balmoral Fire Station is closed today due to a lack of staff. This is currently a nation wide issue caused by FENZ not recruiting enough staff.
Some firefighters are working in excess of 100 hours a week to keep fire appliances available, but it is a continuous struggle to protect you the public and also spend time with family.

Fire and Emergency NZ do not pay enough to attract new staff and with the cost of living increasing, the staff we do have are either moving out of Auckland, or leaving the job all together.

Harbour Bridge Park

Jonathan from Herne Bay

I see signage has been installed around the edge of the path approaching the harbour bridge as notification of that areas approaching significant upgrade.
I notice from their images there is no sign of the lovely traditional park benches and they look to be replaced by concrete slabs and wood … View moreI see signage has been installed around the edge of the path approaching the harbour bridge as notification of that areas approaching significant upgrade.
I notice from their images there is no sign of the lovely traditional park benches and they look to be replaced by concrete slabs and wood blocks.
Why do this? Traditional park seats like that are comfortable, sensible, well placed and no doubt were very expensive. I think it would be a shame to lose the existing seats.
Also, I hope the fishing tables and hoses stay as well as these get a huge amount of use.

I am looking to expand my babysitting work.
I am almost 15y old, hold a medical First Aid certificate for young children and I am currently completing my Duke of Ed award.
I live locally, so I can offer services within the Grey Lynn and Westmere areas.
I am comfortable with bath and bedtime routines, as well as fun activities such as crafting for children 3y+, and can manage up to 3 children if necessary at a time.
Ideally, I am available Fri- Sun late afternoon/evenings, but can also offer some weekday times from 4pm until 10pm.
I can provide references if needed from past babysitting work.
I look forward to hearing from you and can be contacted on 021 490412

Lenovo Tablet for a school

Helena from Morningside

My old mum passed a while ago and I would like to give her 2 year old Lenovo tablet to a school so they can give it to one of their students that could make use of it. Mum was not exactly a power user so it is very low specked.

Mum was not exactly a power user so it is very low specked. It will also need to be reset, which embarrassingly, I cant seem to be able to do.
Please don't ask me for it because I cant be bothered dealing with lots of people. Just give me the name of a low decile school that may have use for it and I will drop it off.

Do cheap interest rates equate to smart finance structures?

This is because finance can be complex and other more important factors like structure, terms and conditions can have a much greater impact on cash flow than interest rate.

It’s very common to see businesses with cash flow issues that have poor asset finance structures as the primary cause for this. This is because it is now hard for Customers to make a value judgement when choosing a finance provider as finance has become a commoditized product where the interest rate is the perceived point of differentiation.
