Emergency Budget: Major Delay to Grandstand Replacement

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

Another unfortunate casualty of Council's Emergency Budget: Major delay to the Birkenhead grandstand's replacement building...
The grandstand at Birkenhead War Memorial Park was demolished in late-2018, and the replacement multi-sport building is being funded from a council fund called "One Local Initiative" (OLI).
However, the Emergency Budget proposes a "major delay" to OLI projects. The new building was already not going to open until 2028, but the Kaipātiki Local Board has received advice that the proposed delay in the Emergency Budget means that it could now be pushed out as far as 2033!
From the Emergency Budget: "Major delay to all One Local Initiatives (key programmes for local boards to provide/upgrade community assets and facilities) and to the growth/development programme unless the works are already contractually committed."

Please have your say on the budget here: akhaveyoursay.nz/emergency-budget
Consultation is open until 19 June.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
