Our concern is that because the Albany Ward is growing in population much faster than the North Shore ward, the two Albany councillors are each representing 20,000 more people than the North Shore councillors, which breaches the "fair representation" rule. Auckland Council are proposing to ignore this matter.
To resolve this issue, the boundary between the two wards would need to be adjusted northwards. The Kaipātiki Local Board argued that the boundary should be moved from Sunset Road to Upper Harbour Highway/Constellation Drive, which would transfer Unsworth Heights from Albany ward to North Shore ward. Similarly, the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board argued that the boundary should be moved north to transfer Campbells Bay and Mairangi Bay from Albany ward to North Shore ward.
The Local Government Commission will be conducting a site visit tomorrow before making a decision on this and other matters.

I am looking for bonsai pots, even if not in the best-looking condition. The new ones are all the same and I want the old look which will probably be hidden in the recesses of the garden shed or garage. Thanks for any help. Cheers

Own Your Online say:
We are seeing a significant increase in reporting of ‘Hi Mum’ scams.
A ‘Hi Mum’ scam is a scam where a random message from an unknown number is sent to you claiming to be from a close relative, usually your son or daughter.
The fake relative often claims their phone is broken – which is why they’re contacting you from a different number – and will ask you to do something, sometimes asking you to help them with a payment or to do something by clicking a link.
If you receive one of these, don’t click the links. Try to contact your relative using their normal number which is probably still working.
You can also report these scam messages by forwarding free to Department of Internal Affairs on 7726
