Homeless Little Blue Penguins.
We were very saddened to have been driving around Shelley Bay this evening (7:15pm), and viewed a Penguin stuck on the outside of the mesh placed at the bottom of the barricades to keep them out. What if its got little ones waiting for Mum and Dad for food? I saw this a few days ago posted by another neighbour. We stopped as the Penguin was sitting in the middle of the road looking forlornly at the fence. He/She turned around and scurried back over to the sea wall. Can the powers that be, please remove this barrier?

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?
