The survey of 700 AA members showed greater opposition to cycle lanes than to bus priority lanes.
It tested views on both the cycle and bus lanes, as well as the way bus lane misuse by motorists was enforced.

Blind sisters, Daelani and Tayla Marsters (age 10 and seven) have been taking piano lessons since the beginning of the year. Their piano teacher recently posted to Neighbourly to see if anyone had a piano they were willing to part with so the girls could practice at home, and sure enough, she received four offers. Listen to the girls play in our video by visual journalist Ryan Anderson.

The Arkles Bay pōhutukawa trees that were poisoned at the end of last year have been replaced by three new trees. The care of the old trees, and then the removal, purchase and planting of the new trees, and the installation of protective bollards cost Auckland Council a whopping $50,000. The culprits were never identified by police or council. If caught, they could have been fined between $300-600K.
Auckland Council doesn't have any specific numbers on native tree poisonings in the region, but we find ourselves reporting cases frequently. Have you had trees near your home poisoned? Let us know in the comments.

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.
Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.
Some experts say that has to change. It is such an existential threat that not to make it a requirement to teach children about climate change is doing them a great disservice, they say.
