Hi neighbours,

Sir John Key’s recent media blitz was full of suggestions for how the Covid-19 response could have been done better. Some have been found to be false (such as his claim we could have paid Pfizer for preferential supply), and some seem to have lit a fire under the Government to get things moving (such as the suggestion of home quarantining).
How do you feel about Key’s contribution?

The Book Fair will take place at Rangitoto College on November 6 from 9am to 5pm and November 7 from 10am to 4pm.
“The pop-up book fair is an opportunity for local book-lovers to dig through a huge variety of pre-loved books and find themselves a page-turner they simply won’t be able to put down,” Red Cross spokeswoman Nia Oxburgh said.
“All funds raised help support the valuable work New Zealand Red Cross does, both here in Aotearoa and abroad.”
The 2020 event was cancelled due to COVID-19, but in 2019 the event raised over $7,000 dollars.
“We hope, with the support of the local community, we can make this year just as much of a success,” Oxburgh said.

Last week Councillors agreed on the text that will go out for consultation, including specific areas that would be prohibited from freedom camping, BUT did not accept any requested prohibited sites from any local boards!
Oddly they also discussed that no additional prohibited sites requested by the public during the consultation would be accepted either, but would instead be considered AFTER the bylaw is adopted!
The proposal includes:
* requiring all freedom campers to use certified self-contained vehicles.
* allowing freedom camping in vehicles on all roads, except where there are already restrictions (yellow lines, time restrictions). This could also include carparks outside local shops, slip-roads, carparks servicing ferry wharves, etc.
* allowing freedom camping in vehicles on all council land, except reserves. This could include carparks at council facilities (libraries, leisure centres, community centres), parks that haven't been gazetted as reserves, etc.
* allowing freedom campers to stay a maximum of two nights in the same road or off-road parking area.
* requiring freedom campers to vacate their parking space by 9am on the day of departure.
* requiring freedom campers not return to stay in the same road or off-road parking area within a two-week period.
* scheduling 45 prohibited sites and 22 restricted sites across Auckland.
The Kaipatiki Local Board had asked for the following sites to be listed as prohibited in the proposal that is going out for consultation, but they were not accepted:
1. The gravel carpark near the southern end of Colonial Road, Birkenhead (commonly assumed to be part of Chelsea Estate Heritage Park).
2. The carparks at the end of Exmouth Road, Northcote (commonly assumed to be part of Heath Reserve).
3. All marked carparks at the western end of Beach Haven Road in the vicinity of Beach Haven Wharf, and the access road to the wharf.
4. All marked carparks at the southern end of Queen Street in the vicinity of Te Onewa (Northcote) Wharf.
5. All marked carparks within the road corridor of College Road between Kilham Ave and Ernie Mays St, that form part of the wider south-western Northcote Town Centre carpark.
6. All marked carparks at the Rawene Road carpark, Birkenhead.
7. All carparks at the carpark behind the Sunnyhaven Ave shops that services the shops and Opaketai Beach Haven Gardens.
8. All formed carparks designed to service neighbourhood shops and businesses, including (but not limited to):

9. All slip roads within the road corridor that provide access to private properties, whether they are parallel to roads (for example on Glenfield Road) or across corners/intersections (for example corner of Sunset Rd/Target Rd; corner Mokoia Rd/Colonial Rd).
10. All carparks servicing community centres/houses, libraries and leisure centres that are on parcels of land held under the Local Government Act, (but not limited to):
