Why is the ratepayer paying for housing intensification with a proposed 5% rates increase?
We have 260 units going in at Nola’s Orchard, Glen Eden with no parking, no laundry facilities, nowhere for kids to play and zero chance for public input due to fast track legislation. We have a huge development of multi storey blocks going in on Croydon Road, New Lynn where there used to be 2 houses; plus yet another house being replaced by 8 units in my neighbourhood with a lot more intensification to come. Developer contributions go nowhere near paying for all the new infrastructure needed. Ratepayers are forced to pay for the rest while developers and investors make huge profits. Auckland Council is broke, in huge debt and taking on a lot more. This totally unsustainable, suburb destroying intensification with its huge loss of urban tree cover needs to become an election issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Careful what you chew!
A recent case , at CM Dental on Lincoln Road,
The patient tragically fractured their upper premolar chewing. yes that's possible so don't crunch bones, beer bottles etc. with your teeth!!! Be careful with the holiday fare and New Year Festive Turkey Drumsticks on the barbecue.
We saved this one sometimes we can't
We first isolated the tooth from his mouth and the salivary bacteria with a temporary filling, applied a rubber dam and root filled the tooth.
We then preserving as much tooth tissue as possible prepared the tooth for a crown and later cemented this in place giving a beautiful cosmetic result. cmdental.co.nz...
