The Massey primary school that has been placed into lockdown twice this year is holding a bike-a-thon.

The students from Lincoln Heights School in Keegan Drive are pedalling non-stop today to raise funds for a new playground.

Police advised the school to go into lockdown around midday on Monday after a firearm incident in the street.

This marked the second time this year the school had been placed into lockdown.

It was locked down in July after the shooting of Constable Matthew Hunt, which happened only a few hundred metres away.

School teachers and parents kicked off the first leg of the bike-a-thon yesterday afternoon and braved stormy weather to ride all night.

"After all the bad press about the neighbourhood recently, it would be great to show that despite a few bad eggs Massey is a great place to live," said event and marketing co-ordinator Rebecca Hochuli.

"We have had two covid lockdowns and 2 police lockdowns yet we are still rallying together to fundraise for your children to have a new playground."

Included in the fundraiser were food stalls, players from the Samoan rugby team, a Halloween disco and book fair.

The school's fundraising target is $15000 and $9000 had already been raised this morning, said deputy principal Toby Kite.

"I am immensely proud of our staff who biked through the night and were still smiling and laughing in the morning, and thankful to our parents who have supported this fundraising effort in so many ways," he said.

It doesn't help that there are some miscreants out there who will torment the animals with his stash of fireworks.
If you see ANYONE doing this or being irresponsible - report them to the police. Try and take photos or a video as proof.
Do you need to be firing all of your fireworks weeks or days in advance?
NO you don't!!
Do you need to be throwing them all over the place, just for ghits & shiggles?
NO - no one is laughing!!
I love a great fireworks display just as much as the next person, but it has now come time that there should only be professionally controlled fireworks displays now.
The recklessness and lack of consideration has become a thousand times worse of the last few years and the horrendously deafening noise from some of them - holy moly!!!

A series of accusatory hand-written notes have been delivered to residents of Harbourside Drive following Sunday’s vandalism of several trees.

Locals are feeling “absolutely disgusted” at the suggestion that they are behind the incident, which involved a vandal felling eight street pōhutukawa trees with a chainsaw.

Paul and Sue Wilson, who have lived on the road for over 10 years, arrived home on Monday from a trip to Waiheke Island to find a line of felled trees and a curt hand-written note in their letterbox.
