I have lived in my current address for 3 to 4 years and have leased my workshop for over 6 years so have good references.
Thanks

I wnet for a walk to Richmond Ave to find a souped up four wheel drive rammed into the side of several parked cars.
My point is, Queen Street has become a "racetrack" between Stafford Road and Onewa Road for people coming from the city high on alcohol and drugs using it as a "shortcut" to Onewa Road, not to mention the commuter traffic thinking it's a shortcut to!!! Maritme Parade has an OVERABUNDANCE of speed bumps...when is Queen Street, between Stafford Road and Onewa road going to get some to stop these bloody hoons!

Hi Neighbours, An awful lot of your money has been spent creating excellent new public spaces, where cars once ruled in the downtown area. But having built it, are our politicians caring enough for how the space is used? Read the story below :

If so, the brigade wants to hear from you!
The 1st Auckland Cavell Girl Guide Unit turns 100 in July and is still seeking old girls to join the celebrations.
One of the first girl guide units to be formed in Auckland, the group is gearing up to commemorate its centenary.
A social afternoon is planned for July 3, kicking off at 2pm with historic guiding activities such as knot tying and making arm slings.
Guests will be treated to afternoon tea and a birthday cake before photographs are taken of the girls.
The day will end with a singalong around the campfire.
The next day, a church parade will march through St Andrews Church, Epsom, where the unit has been meeting since 1921.
Parishioners are invited to a morning tea after the procession.
The unit, initially known as the St Andrew's Peace Scout Group, is believed to be the first guide company which has kept going since it was launched.
It all started when eighteen-year-old Mona Burgin wrote to the Dominion chief scout Colonel Cosgrove, a New Zealand Boer War veteran, asking about Girl Peace Scouts.
He arranged to meet her in Queen St, Auckland and wrote she would recognize him by the red flower in his buttonhole.
Soon after the meeting Burgin formed the troop on July 6.
Girl Peace Scouts wore khaki uniforms and the St Andrews troop wore a red open-ended tie.
In 1923, the Dominion Council became affiliated with the original Girls Guides Association in London.
*Former unit members can email cavellgirlguidesnz@gmail.com for details of the centenary.

As you can see from this video, there is very little visibility when leaving the carpark, and this is of particular concern at school drop-off and pick-up times. There have already been numerous near-misses.
youtu.be...
At the meeting, letters were tabled from Birkenhead Primary School, Birkenhead Bowling Club and the Birkenhead Village Town Centre Association supporting the removal of the angle parks.
Auckland Transport have previously been alerted to this situation, but have said that is not a current priority, and would require an audit of the wider school vicinity. The Local Board has said that it would support an emergency interim response of planter boxes until the reinstatement of parallel parks could be completed.
Hopefully AT will respond adequately to this situation soon.
Resolution number KAI/2021/27
MOVED by Member A Tyler, seconded by Member M Kenrick:
That the Kaipātiki Local Board:
a) note its concern that there will be a serious injury or death outside of 95 Mokoia Road, Birkenhead, due to the angle parking blocking the view of vehicles exiting Birkenhead Bowling Club and Birkenhead Primary School’s shared carpark.
b) request that Auckland Transport remove the 5 angle parks in front of 95 Mokoia Road and located between the shared vehicle access serving Birkenhead Primary School & Birkenhead Bowling Club and the vehicle access at 97B Mokoia Road and reinstate the parallel parking that was previously in this location as soon as possible to prevent a serious incident from occurring.
c) note that the angle parks in front of 97B Mokoia Road are not included in the scope of this motion and should be left as they are.
d) note that as an emergency interim response the board would support the use of planter boxes or plywood boxes such as those recently used by Auckland Transport in a ‘Safer Streets’ project in Onehunga to block off the two angle parks closest to the school carpark entrance (as long as view lines for exiting drivers were not impeded by these) until full reinstatement of these carparks to parallel is able to be completed.
e) request that the portion of Mokoia Road outside Birkenhead Primary is included for investigation in tranche 2 of the Safe Speeds Programme, which is considering lowering speed limits on roads outside schools.
f) table letters and video footage in support of this motion provided by Birkenhead Primary School, Birkenhead Town Centre Association and Birkenhead Bowling Club.
