Transport to school
Good morning everyone, I just wanted to know if there is anyone around my area (Christmas road) (olive street) who is willing to pick up and drop off my son to his school
-Pick up at 8.30am from home to school
-my sons school end 2.45pm
I had a lady picking up and dropping off him to school since his son goes to the same school with my son but now she can't do it coz she is continuing her studies so it's hard for her to continue picking up and dropping off my son. The school is not too far, it's at a walking distance but I dont want him to walk to school. I'm more than happy to walk him to school but he gets tired by the time he reaches school and I have a baby girl with me as well. If any one out there who is reliable and responsible enough please reach out to me. Private message me and we can talk about all other details. Thank you so much

By-election for Otara-Papatoetoe area
Just to let everyone know that we have another by-election happening, and here is the reason why. Below are details and dates, so keep an eye on your letter boxes.
The Manukau Court’s Ruling
The Manukau District Court determined that the Papatoetoe subdivision result of the Ōtara–Papatoetoe Local Board election was invalid, ruling that the outcome had been “materially affected” by voting irregularities. Judge Richard McIlraith found that the scale and nature of the irregularities met the legal threshold required to void an election under New Zealand’s local electoral laws.
In his decision, Judge McIlraith stated that the evidence presented — including reports of stolen voting papers, fraudulent use of ballots, and other procedural irregularities — was sufficient to conclude that the integrity of the election had been compromised. The court noted that at least 79 voting papers were identified as having been cast without the rightful voter’s knowledge during a judicially supervised examination of ballot boxes.
While the judge acknowledged that the election had been administered “properly and in accordance with all requirements” by Independent Election Services and the electoral officer, he concluded that the fraudulent activity originated outside the official process and nonetheless impacted the final result to a degree that required the election to be voided.
As a result of the ruling, the court ordered that a new election must be held, with Auckland Council confirming that the fresh poll must be completed by 9 April 2026
