Pothole in the New Lynn Memorial library carpark.

Wayne from New Lynn

You may have seen my letter in the Western Leader?
Four months ago, I rang Auckland Council about a metre wide, and 6' deep pothole in the library car park.
Simple repair, with contractor putting some base metal, compacting, then hot mix.
At the MOST 3 hours.
But NO, have been at a tennis match, as Auckland Transport, say it is NOT their problem?
Auckland Council say it is NOT their problem.
Mean while this VERY dangerous bend, will cause a maybe serious accident.
Rang this week, and now after unknown emails, and different case numbers, the simple pothole, MIGHT be repaired. Not sure if any of you have seen this or had to avoid it.
Sick of seeing signs "Our Rates Working For You" when they don't.


The problem is people coming into the library car park, face cars leaving the car park?
The people leaving, see the pothole, drive to the right side, there by having chance of incoming cars.
Will keep informed.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
