Contractors start the painstaking task this week of taking down the city's oldest wall- brick by brick.

The historic Bluestone wall off Albert St will be moved 1.5 metres to make way for the underground rail tunnels being built in Auckland's major infrastructure project, the City Rail Link.

Every brick will be labelled with a unique number so workers know how to rebuild the wall.

Expected to be reconstructed by 2023, it will be moved east with the station tunnel box running parallel.

The wall was constructed in 1880 from local material after the widening of Durham St.

If we think about the amount of ink and paper that is disposed of everyday due to junk mail it seems like a waste of electricity and material. Maybe it's time we restrict junk mail delivery to those that actually want it and those that do not?

**DO YOU NEED SOMEONE TO DO YOUR LAWNS AND GARDEN MAINTAINANCE?**

Hello everyone,

I've just finished university and am looking for freelance work over the summer mowing lawns, trimming hedges, looking after peoples gardens, that sort of work. I'm not a qualified landscaper but I have a lot of experience.

I have a lot of free time so am quick to get things done and I have competitive rates.

Based in Balmoral but can work anywhere in central Auckland

Fourteen Auckland mountains have been closed to the public to ward off blazes fuelled by fireworks.

The maunga (mountains) administered by the Tupuna Maunga Authority are closed to the public this week from 7.30 pm until November 8.

The decision to ban evening access follows fires at Mt Wellington and Mt Eden on Guy Fawkes night last year.

Fireworks sparked a blaze which tore through the crater of Mangere Mountain in December last year and another fire on Mt Wellington in April.

Last month another blaze caused by a group of youths playing with fireworks ripped through the lower slopes of Mt Wellington.

The following mountains will be closed: Wiri, One Tree Hill, Mount Wellington, Mount Eden, North Head, Mount Albert, Mount Hobson, Pigeon Mountain, Mount Richmond, Mount Roskill, Mount St John, Mount Victoria, Mangere Mountain, Big King.

Do you agree with the closures?

Are you planning to celebrate Guy Fawkes tomorrow night?
