Western Springs Speedway

I've been asked by a lot of people what my position is on the Western Springs Speedway:
✅ I SUPPORT Speedway STAYING at Western Springs.

A few months ago, there was consultation on the future of the Western Springs Stadium, however none of the options guaranteed speedway staying. But before a decision could be made, one of the options - the "Auckland Arena" proposal - was withdrawn, leaving the consultation results in disarray.
So now the future of the stadium will be decided after the election by the incoming council. If this is an issue that you are concerned about, it is important to ensure that your councillors support continuing the rich history of speedway at Western Springs.

Government targeted relief

Garth from Hillcrest

My sister is a Pensioner living in Wellsford. She has an appointment at North Shore Hospital tomorrow afternoon at 2.45pm. The 160km round trip would cost about $50 which is too expensive. Instead, she will be taking a free shuttle leaving from Wellsford at 8am tomorrow, so will have almost 6 hours wait at hospital . It is not only families with children who are struggling. I do understand that not everyone can be accommodated in the relief, but just saying.
