Million-dollar dumps: Publicly owned properties fall to rack and ruin

Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

To the side of East Auckland’s Te Ara ki Uta ki Tai cycleway, nestled in overgrown greenery, is a building that wouldn’t get a second glance if it weren’t for hot pink graffiti.

To the side of East Auckland’s Te Ara ki Uta ki Tai cycleway, nestled in overgrown greenery, is a building that wouldn’t get a second glance if it weren’t for hot pink graffiti.

The house, owned by Auckland Council subsidiary Auckland Transport, was used as a site office by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency staff working on the $46 million cycleway between Glen Innes to Tāmaki Drive, Auckland Transport spokesman Mark Hannan said.

But locals say the property has been all but destroyed by vandals since the cycleway was completed in 2016.

The property is one of several that have become run down and derelict under the ownership of local government.

Dear fellow community organisations and stakeholders,

I am writing to you with regards to the community van, currently being operated by Howick Historical Village (HHV).

Originally, the vehicle was transferred to HHV by the Howick Local Board
with the intention to aid local community groups with their transport requirements.

After a recent discussion with HHV, I’m pleased to advise you that in the near future Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS), will take-over the ownership and running of the vehicle.

Further to this, MECOSS will continue to make the van available to local community groups and organisations for their usage.

If you’d like to schedule a van reservation or make a change to a current booking, please contact lindsay.upton@mecoss.org.nz

If there are any other matters you would like to discuss, please feel free to contact me or Lindsay Upton.

David Collings
Chairperson
Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)
