Māngere Birthing centre staff frustrated as 'siren battlers' park up
Kia ora neighbours, new parents are experiencing sleepless nights due to cars blaring loud music outside the Māngere birthing unit.
It comes after West Aucklanders spoke out about “siren battlers” blasting Celine Dion songs in the small hours of the morning. One woman said she was planning to move out over the noise.
Nga Hau Māngere Birthing Centre chief executive Chloe Wright said that a couple of weekends ago a car meet with more than 100 vehicles was hosted in the Māngere Town Centre, beside the unit. Loud music carried on throughout the night.
Since then, Wright said, a number of drivers had been showing up to the car park and having “siren battles”, as well as urinating outside the centre.

BRASS SCREWS SCATTERED ON CAVENDISH DRIVE!!!!
At 1.00pm today, I spotted a pile of brass screws at the intersection of Norman Spencer Drive and Cavendish Drive in the Eastbound lane outside Chipmunks that have now been scattered all over the road. I called it through to Auckland Transport. But be careful, they could be all the way along Cavendish by now. Check tyres tonight and in the morning.
