Infamous Titirangi chickens 'bok' on the streets after $25k removal

Kia ora neighbours, feral chickens that terrorised children and were blamed for an infestation of “cat-sized” rats are back on the streets, despite politicians spending thousands to remove them.

Titirangi has battled poultry problems for years and in 2019, the Waitākere Local Board paid $25,000 to get rid of more than 200 birds.

The removal of the chickens was requested by the majority of locals and 240 of the birds were captured and re-homed, but local board deputy chairperson Greg Presland said not every single bird was captured.

Years on, a flock of about 30 birds are roosting by Titirangi library, driving residents “mad” with constant crowing.

Exactly 7 years ago July 3 I arrived to NZ after 3days on the road from West Africa. 3 days travel was hell as I left my family, my job and MY COUNTRY & I also didn’t know what was waiting for me in NZ.

Now after all these years, I’m proud to say I have never been proud of choosing NZ as my home. There are things NZ won’t fix for me, but I love NZ and I have never seen beautiful people and country like NZ.
NZ gave me protection when my country couldn’t.

I love NZ and God bless NZ.

Hello Neighbours,
I am intending to start a part time home based Massage service in the next month or so.
Right now looking for a few clients to get things rolling - who wouldn't mind the fact that I'm not quite setup yet, for a discounted introductory rate of $50/hour
I have approximately 15 years massage experience , have done a bunch of courses , including a few lessons in Thailand.
My options will be:
- Muscular/Pain relief
- Relaxation
I do have quite a knack for finding the exact spot/muscle that has the soreness and working away some of that pain.
My normal job is weekdays 9-5 so appointments will have to fit in around that I'm afraid.
So, if you have sore muscles , need relaxation etc, and if you don't mind that the fancy table covers I've ordered haven't arrived yet, and the front yard still needs some tidying, feel free to get in touch.

Kia ora neighbours, more than 500 houses will be built in Avondale, replacing a vacant lot and 42 occupied Kāinga Ora homes.

The 1.58 hectare block on Avondale’s Racecourse Parade will be developed by Marutūāhu-Ockham Group, after Eke Panuku Development Auckland signed a sale and development agreement.

The development block includes two sites on the street. One has been vacant for years, while the other has 42 Kāinga Ora houses on it.

Eke Panuku said it had negotiated the purchase of the second site with Kāinga Ora and had agreed to settle in 2024 to give the agency time to relocate the people living there.

What do you think about the development? Feel free to discuss below.
