Bridge Destroyed
It's really disappointing that an important pedestrian bridge for Birkdale Intermediate and Birkenhead College students has been destroyed by arson.
The Fordham St to Lanigan St bridge is beyond repair and currently being demolished and investigated. I'll help push for this to be replaced as soon as possible, but realistically, it will likley be some time.
In the meantime, there are alternative walking routes via Mirage Place or Woodhams St, but they are a fair bit longer.
If you have any information about what happened to the bridge, please contact the Police or CrimeStoppers (anonymous).

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
