If cutting emissions is the big goal - why put up PT fares ?

Todd Niall Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Hi Neighbours, Auckland is this year getting serious about reducing carbon emissions. Transport is the city's biggest single emitter. So how does it make sense to hike public transport fares? Read the story below:

PAVEMENT PARKING

Sue from Torbay - Long Bay

Hi All
Does anyone know this vehicle? It is parked fully on the pavement on Glenvar Road for the past week. We have tried to contact the number on the vehicle but it is not answered, nor are they responding to texts.

Hi All
Does anyone know this vehicle? It is parked fully on the pavement on Glenvar Road for the past week. We have tried to contact the number on the vehicle but it is not answered, nor are they responding to texts.

Yesterday a little boy on his bicycle had to swerve into the busy road because the pavement was blocked, not to mention pedestrians, who have to walk on the road to get around it. It is possible that the vehicle is stolen and has been abandoned and we have reported it to Auckland Transport.

Thanks

Virtual reality technology has allowed residents to see the world from their armchairs.

A group of residents in Bupa Hugh Green Care Home were amazed by an immersive experience recently, donning headsets for a virtual reality tour of Egypt, India, Italy and Croatia.

The virtual travel tour is in HD, 4K and is part of a technology trial for the care home. The care home activity team talking the residents through the accompanying narrative.

The technology is from SilVR, specialising in education using virtual reality through 360º photos, sound and videos. The headset can provide a vast library selection of locations and interests to choose from.

Residents were guided through Cairo’s Great Sphinx of Giza, the Hawa Mahal Jaiur in India, and the Colosseum in Rome, Italy.

General Manager , Ian Dunthorne says the technology initiative has become popular worldwide with care homes due to lockdowns restricting travel.

“Our residents, with and without cognitive impairment, have found this to be an amazing journey. Reminiscing of their own past travel trips can trigger conversation during and after the VR as a shared experience or on their own.”

After the session, specialty cups of tea were shared from countries the residents had visited. This capped off their virtual reality travel trip from the comfort of their care home lounge.

Calling anyone looking for a live-in nanny/au pair role for two great kids just moved back from the UK :)

We are looking for an au pair or nanny to join our little family in Torbay.

My daughter is 11 and is at Northcross Intermediate (year 8), she is relatively self-sufficient, makes her own lunch and gets herself to school but needs collecting on a Monday and Tuesday after Spanish at 04:15pm. She also has dance classes and friends which she organises herself.

My son is 8 and is at Long Bay Primary (year 5), he needs driving to school anytime from 08:30am, he needs his lunch made but he's a sleeper so doesn't wake up until 08:00am and is quick to get ready and out the door. He love football and plays constantly

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 07:30am to 09:00am (or can drop off at school earlier if necessary) and 03:30am to 07:00pm - this is 15 hours of childcare.

I don't work on Wednesdays and Fridays so will be responsible for them most of the time but may need child care then, sometimes my days are switched for work. I will need babysitting at night and can do 30 or 40 hours per week inclusive, would prefer a total of 40 but can be flexible, however I need the Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays fixed. I’ll work out payment with you depending on your level of experience and the amount of hours you’re able to do.

We have a weekly cleaner so I really just need someone to be with the children and help with their meals and running around activities, and having fun of course!

Must have full driving licence and I'll pay mileage if you have your own car otherwise I will provide a vehicle.

The house has a downstairs with two bedrooms, own living room and bathroom for you whilst the two children and I are upstairs. We have a pool. Our house is a few minutes’ walk from Long Bay Beach and the Torbay shops.

We are a healthy family, we eat lovely home cooked meals and have a lot of fun. I've had many au pairs in the past and have had such a great experience with this system.
