Please be aware that Flavours increase their usual Takeaway prices when on the Uber Eats website and then with the cost of delivery etc the final cost was just over twice the cost compared to if I had simply picked it up myself. Seems like an overly inflated price for convenience. (I wasn't feeling well otherwise I'd have gone and got it myself).

I felt like a teenage girl as I was given the grand tour by one of our local fire crews. Keep an eye out for the community open day, it's well worth the visit! 🚒

Hi Auckland,

Auckland has topped the global rankings of liveability, rising 11 places to take the top spot.

The survey, commissioned by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), gives mathematical weight to such a claim. New Zealand's world-leading response to the spread of Covid-19 has been cited as one of the leading factors in the significant jump in rankings.

The EIU's index rates the living conditions and comprises 30 factors grouped into five categories: stability, health care, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.

Auckland Harbour Bridge cycle rally: Arrested cyclist says access to bridge needed to modernise city

Tēnā koutou. The man who was arrested at the cycle rally over the Auckland Harbour Bridge on Sunday says having cycle access on the bridge is key to modernising the city.

Epsom resident Jason Mathieson arrived early and broke through the police blockade at the Curran St on-ramp to the bridge shortly before Bike Auckland's 'Liberate the Lane' rally began.

Mathieson, who works as bicycle messenger and claims to “live on my bike”, believes a cycle path over the bridge is the key to unlocking Auckland as a modern city.

“It should be an exciting project for the city.”

After unsuccessfully pressuring police to “let this happen”, Mathieson saw his opportunity to throw himself and his bike over the gate when one of the police officers momentarily glanced away.

“It's not like you are trying to break the law, but rather break and idea, the idea that bikes can’t go over the bridge.”

As Mathieson made his way to the bridge, he thought he had made it, until he saw another police blockade in his way, where he was arrested.

“I watched everyone go over the bridge from the back of the police car.”

Crown to buy and demolish harbourfront homes worth $23m to build Auckland's new cycle and pedestrian bridge

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

Seven harbourfront homes worth an estimated $23.4m are to be bought and demolished by the Government to make way for Auckland’s new $785m cycling and walking bridge.

Seven harbourfront homes worth an estimated $23.4m are to be bought and demolished by the Government to make way for Auckland’s new $785m cycling and walking bridge.

Residents on Princes St in the upmarket North Shore suburb of Northcote Point were first told the Crown needed to acquire their homes in March last year.

Back then, the plan was for the Northern Pathway to be built as an attachment to the existing Auckland Harbour Bridge, with the properties needing to make way for the project's off-ramp.

That plan was dropped in favour of the new cycling bridge announced by the Government last week. But the homes – worth an average of $3.3m each – still have to go.
