Kia ora neighbours, rubbish spilling out of a Henderson property onto the footpath has attracted rats and made living nearby awful, a neighbour says.

The Kāinga Ora property on Universal Drive has been surrounded by rubbish since 2019.

Despite multiple complaints to Kāinga Ora and Auckland Council, the problem remains.

One neighbour, who did not want to be named due to security fears, said there was lots of noise at the house, along with piles of rubbish that had attracted vermin.

TRADEME COURIER COSTS

Linda from Henderson

Lately when I have used Trademe's own couriers' quote, I have found that often the price they quote for the buyer to pay, has increased by several dollars even when the item is sold within a few days after being listed.

Lately when I have used Trademe's own couriers' quote, I have found that often the price they quote for the buyer to pay, has increased by several dollars even when the item is sold within a few days after being listed.
This unfair practise leaves the seller paying the extra costs.
An recent example . A family member sold a clothes drying rack for $15, and the courier, Aramex, charged an extra $4.50 over the quoted price. Where is this extra cost going I wonder? Petrol has gone down lately, not up.
I think Trademe need to do a bit of spot checking.
