What do you think, is this fair? Will you still use Uber Eats when the surcharge applies?

It was spotted and reported by a local resident out walking her dog. Council fenced off the site and are investigating the cause. Preliminary inspection indicates that the sinkhole occurred on top of a large corrugated iron pipe which is showing incorrectly in Council's system as a concrete pipe. CCTV inspections are underway.
Please take care in the area and don't go through the fence.
Here is a photo montage supplied by the contractor.
It's fantastic that the long-awaited new toilet being installed at Monarch Park in Hillcrest, and the new entrance sign and directional bollards :)

It wasn't long ago that this was a hidden park, and I remember stumbling upon it when I was a kid and not being able to find it again! But work over the last couple of years has widened and enhanced the main Moore Street entrance, and the new sign with map will ensure that this park is no longer hidden!
This park has a lot to offer and is treasured by the local Monarch Park Place Making Project group, who have worked with the Kaipatiki Local Board on ideas and improvements for the park. There are lots of things for children to find in this park, including a natural play area, resident fairy, little library, mosaic tiles, ornaments, and there are future plans for a nature trail.
A big thanks to Project Manager Julie Crabb for pushing the toilet and signage through for the Local Board. And also thanks also to contractors Zac and Dave who have been out installing these and the new signs at Shepherds Park.
