Would you relocate out of Auckland?

Reporter North Shore Times

Hi neighbours - a group of Aucklanders have swapped traffic congestion and exorbitant house prices for home-baked hospitality in a rural South Taranaki town.

Hi neighbours - a group of Aucklanders have swapped traffic congestion and exorbitant house prices for home-baked hospitality in a rural South Taranaki town.

Diane Fagan says "we're just loving it. There are no traffic lights, you can park where you like and you are first in the queue at the supermarket".

Would you relocate out of Auckland? Have you relocated once before and then moved back?

Is AT putting the brakes on speed limit cuts?

Todd Niall Reporter from North Shore Times

Auckland Transport's board may drop all or some of the planned speed restrictions on nearly 800 Auckland roads. Some might not make sense but if a lot are dropped following consultation, how can Aucklanders be sure that it not simply because a reduction is unpopular? Read the story below:

Hi
I was privileged to witness a touching moment today and thought I would share it.
There we were sitting in a big line up of 4pm traffic on Oteha Valley Road when suddenly a few cars ahead a young man launched himself out of the stationary car and started running between cars eventually scooping up a tiny duckling.
He then very gently held it and raced to the bushes on the road side where he carefully placed it then ran back to his car only to re-emerge moments later racing back to the tiny creature again scooping it up and proceeded to make his way across the busy road to the other side ... at which time we had to move along.
I do hope the feathered family was safely reunited and young man I salute you for your good deed it was a lovely moment to watch
It’s always great to know that people in the big city certainly do care and will help others in their moments of need.
Happy Friday everyone
