Local Board asks Auckland Transport for Delegations
I'm very pleased that the Kaipatiki Local Board has voted in support of our Notice of Motion requesting Auckland Transport to delegate powers to Local Boards on local transport matters, in order to restore some democratic accountability to local transport decisions, projects and the millions of public dollars involved. The vote passed 5 in favour; 3 against.
The Notice of Motion was signed and supported by myself, Danielle Grant Anne-Elise Smithson, Adrian Tyler and Paula Gillon.
A copy of the decision will now be sent to the other 20 local boards for their consideration and I hope that they will join us in putting pressure on Auckland Transport.
Attached is the full Notice of Motion, with information on how Auckland Transport has the ability to delegate powers to local boards, although for the last 9 years it has chosen not to.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
