Where are your favourite safe swimming spots in Auckland?

What is going on with Auckland Council and these obvious massive cost cutting efforts? It seems like this Super Council cannot cope or they have hired really bad contractors.
If we do not look after the city infrastructure diligently,it is going to crumble fast under Auckland's harsh weather.In the long run,all these "short cuts" will end up costing Rate Payers more.
I have mentioned only Te Irirangi Drive,but the same deterioration can be seen on almost every road around Auckland.We are becoming a poorly maintained,filthy city.Not something to be proud of.
Aucklanders should do their share and stop throwing bottles,cans and take away packaging out of their car windows onto grass islands or along roadsides.Just look where it eventually ends up-piled up at stormwater drains.Some will make it into the ocean,but most will lead to road surface flooding due to blockage,rapid surface damage or maybe even property flooding if our trend continues.Stormwater drains should be clear for rain water run-off,not plugged up with cans,bottles,takeaway boxes and vegetation.
Come on Auckland Council and Aucklanders,take some pride in our City.Lets clean up our streets and keep them clean(put your rubbish in a bin at home if you cannot find one-don't just throw it in the streets-would you throw it all over your yard?).
Coucil should bring back the litter patrols.They DID make a difference.Also Coucil should not take short cuts when it comes to infrastructure on-going maintenance.Once you let it deteriorate too far,it will be far too expensive to restore:Hence the deterioration will continue.What an eyesore that will be.

❌ 1. Never light fireworks in dry or windy conditions.
🔥 2. Only use fireworks in wide open areas, away from flammable items such as trees, grasses, gas tanks, and wood.
💦 3. Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby.
👧 4. Children should never light fireworks themselves and need to be supervised closely at all times.
🧰 5. Keep all unlit fireworks in a secure bag or container away from any source of fire until they are ready to be used.
📞 6. Be considerate and let neighbours know if you're planning to set off fireworks. Aim to finish at a reasonable time.
🐱 7. Keep pets comfortable and secure inside. The loud booms and flashing lights can easily scare them off.
🐮 8. Avoid lighting off fireworks around farm animals and be aware of any newborns or elderly neighbours who may also be affected. If possible, change locations to somewhere that minimises any disturbances.
🌿 9. Be a tidy Kiwi and let's work together to keep New Zealand beautiful! Clean up any any rubbish and leave your spot better than you found it.
