100 year old Oak trees being felled tomorrow in Parnell
I am sharing the news that 4 beautiful, healthy, 100 year old Oak trees that shade the path leading down to the train tracks and domain tunnel from Gibraltar Crescent are being cut down by Summerset Development tomorrow. This is being done without providing the public or neighbours notice.
The council has accepted a nomination to list these trees as notable and therefore protected, so Summerset is rushing through the destruction of these trees tomorrow before they can be protected. Neighbours to the development offered to allow Summerset to build an extra floor above the normal height if they would save the trees and this has been refused.
If anyone can do anything to help it would be amazing! Please share this and shame Summerset Group.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
