CHANGES TO DOG ACCESS RULES: WHAT IS AND ISN'T TRUE

Media Officer from Eastern Beach Community Safety Inc.

We have to comment on the article written by Marianne Kelly | Monday, 19 September 2016 titled CHANGES TO DOG ACCESS RULES: WHAT IS AND ISN'T TRUE

The article missed a key point and that is that the changes to Howick's Dog Access Rules do not come into effect until 1st July 2017.

The result of this lack of detail is that some dog owners are having their dogs on the beach after 9am contrary to the existing Dog Access rules. The change to the Dog Access rules allowing dogs on the beach up to 10am in Summer does not come into effect until next Summer.

We have brought this to the attention of both the Howick Local Board and the Howick Pakuranga Times asking that clarification/correction is made to their previously published article. This misperception is causing friction on a daily basis.

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?

The Doctors

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
