Great New Public Transport Ideas

Grant from Devonport

"I haven't got my voting papers, what should I do?" It's a question the Heart of the Shore team are hearing a lot when we're out in the community. Make sure you have your say on how we make our Local Area the place we want it to be.

Independent Election Services (IES) run the election for Auckland Council, their freephone number is 0800 922 822.

If you're not enrolled, it can still be done by going to any PostShop or any public library.

If you're overseas, as of yesterday (1 October), IES said it was still fast-posting, at its expense, to hotels, hostels, and embassies. If you receive your papers overseas it will be up to you to have them returned in time. I was told many will choose to do this by express international courier. Email for IES: info@electionservices.co.nz

Also, Auckland Council are running what they call One Stop Shops where you can enrol, and vote at the same time. Here's a link to a page showing proposed venues for the One Stop Shops: www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...

The programme for the One Stop Shops says they're subject to change so hopefully they'll rock-up to Takapuna Market (pictured) on Sunday - we reckon more than half those attending the market are from outside the Local Area, from East, West and South Auckland.

Here's the official Auckland Council voting site: www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...

Here's a great dish to make the most of asparagus when they're at their best.

Serves 4
Ingredients
20 Asparagus, spears (5-6 asparagus spears per person)
½ tsp Sugar
½ tsp Salt
½ cup Mayonnaise
50 g Parmigiano cheese, grated

Directions

1. Snap off the asparagus ends or peel the last 2-3 centimetres.
2. Heat a pot of water to blanch the asparagus.
3. Add salt and sugar to the water — this helps heighten the green colour of the asparagus.
4. When water reaches a rolling boil, add the asparagus. Cover with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes.
5. Drain in a sink with cold running water and ice if you have it.
6. Remove from the water when cool and drain and place on a serving plate.
7. Combine the parmigiano and mayonnaise and pour over the asparagus.
8. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.

Look no further if you want a superb lifestyle!

This house is a home not just another flat. We have super soft carpet under your feet and fully equipped with nice plates, matching glasses etc. We have Vodafone TV with Netflix, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, extraction fan, HIV system, Dyson hoover...fully furnished for a comfortable lifestyle.

The house is 4min walk from the beach as well the lake, from the cinema and 2 minutes walk from yoga, gym, all the shops and restaurants and take away and massage places. 1 min walk to the theatre. 3x supermarkets within 5 min drive and 2 petrol stations.

Motorway access is 5 min drive going North as well towards the city.
Ponsonby is 7min drive, Albany mall is 10.

Your room: Can come furnished with my King bed! Yes! Super comfy!!! Or you can have it unfurnished. The choice is yours.
It's the smaller room of the 2 but it's only 2 people in the house so you'll have the whole place really.

My flatmate (your flatmate) is awesome. We're living together for about 6 month. Easy going, respectful. You'll get on with him!

You must have a full time job, pay rent on time, be clean & tidy & easy going.

I'm the lease holder on the place and I'm going overseas for a bit but ideally don't want to give up on this amazing place nor thinking about moving before I leave.
Here is the deal. You can definitely stay a minimum of 3 month, might be even longer. I'm going to give you a month notice before I come back. I only purchased a one way ticket so you might be able to stay for 6 month or more.
I'm leaving on the 29th Nov, ideally like to stay here till then but happy to negotiate if you like to move in early Nov.

Believe me. Having summer at this place is the best!!!! You won't regret it!

Price: $310
