Auckland Council seeking former residents of 9 Whangaparāoa properties
Kia ora neighbours. CCO Eke Panuku is seeking the former owners of eight properties on Whangaparāoa Rd and one on Brightside Rd in Stanmore Bay.
The Rodney District Council purchased 23 properties under the Public Works Act between 1997 and 2000 so it could undertake a road widening project. However, the work never went ahead, so the council is obliged to re-offer the properties to the former owners before it can list them on the market.
Eke Panuku has managed to get in touch with some of the former owners, however it is asking the following people (or their successors) to get in touch by July 9: Rosemary Martha Meek, Mary Patricia Cavell, Kent Woodward La Rue & Janice Mary Barlow, Bernice Adelaide Evans, Noleen Alice Walker & Collin George Dyson & Allan Dyson, Lyall David Martin & Christine Martin, Norma Valerie Revell, Brendan Ronald Thickpenny, and Ronald Frederick Pilbrow & Verna Doreen Pilbrow.
If you were one of the people who the council acquired property from, I'd really like to hear from you too. Are you upset that the road works never went ahead after you were forced to give up your home? Please email me at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz
