Hi neighbors,
For the past few years we have had ducks visiting our street at Abercrombie and around, I have just noticed that 1 of the babies from last year has returned and she has 6 new additions to her family. So cute.

Anyway she has been crossing the road at the corner of Abercrombie and Cook Street to get to I think Sale Street early morning I’m guessing before 8 and going back around 5.30 in the evening.
Just wanting to make people driving by aware, so they can please be mindful of them trying to cross the street if you see them.
Thanks.

1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives. When they do, let’s make sure they don’t have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.

This month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (21 - 27 September).

However you choose to take part, make sure to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

Home buyers have “less choice than ever” as Covid-19 hits Auckland property market

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Auckland’s property market is being felt, data from realestate.co.nz reveals.

The number of Auckland homes for sale in August was down 7 percent from the same period last year with just 7399 listings.

This echoed national trends where the housing supply decreased by 13.2 percent to 17,974 listings.

The average asking price nationwide has increased by 9.1 percent to $824,702 over this period.

However Auckland was at odds with this trend, with a slight decrease in asking price by 0.8 percent to $982,155.

Realestate.co.nz spokesperson Vanessa Taylor said the national housing shortage is not getting better and buyers have “less choice than ever”.

“New Zealand's fast-growing population coupled with an increase in the number of Kiwis returning home due to COVID-19 is likely increasing the demand for property,” she said.

"With many Kiwis unable or reluctant to relocate overseas right now, this too is likely putting a strain on the market.“

Are you concerned about the impact Covid-19 will have on the Auckland property market?

Zero tolerance on speeding drivers all year round as Kiwi cops get tough on motorists

The Team Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Do you sometimes drive a few kms over the speed limit? Road police have scrapped their speed buffer on Kiwi roads in favour of a no tolerance approach.

All motorists edging over the limit at any time of the year can now expect to be pulled over and possibly fined, national road policing manager Acting Superintendent Gini Welch confirmed on Friday.

It brings an end to a long-standing convention that law enforcement would let minor speeding breaches slide.


“We don’t have a threshold,” Welch told Stuff, “we don’t have anything other than the speed limit.

Previously, besides zero tolerance long weekends, it was understood police could exercise discretion up to 10kmh over the speed limit.

I would have to reply by saying without a doubt it has to be the feeling I get when I open my email box and get to read something like the below....can't put a price on this ever....

"What others have said here so eloquently, I endorse as also being my experience. I chose Team Parfitt to sell my home initially because I was so impressed with Lisa Parfitt’s confidence and enthusiasm. Subsequently meeting Wayne her husband and partner I could see they formed a really dynamic Team. From the moment I made that decision a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders as they advised and guided me through choices that had been overwhelming me. Those were just some of the incidental – yet important areas of the process in which their expertise proved so very helpful. From there, my confidence and trust continued to increase as I witnessed their excellent Marketing skills and Professionalism whilst still maintaining such a remarkable level of compassion and care. Their positive attitude at all times meant I had none of the stress one expects in selling a home. They knew, so I knew, they would bring about a positive result. And indeed they did. I can’t speak highly enough nor express fully my admiration and appreciation for Lisa and Wayne – from the sourcing and scheduling of some maintenance for the house, to their hosting of Open Homes and the subsequent communication with potential Buyers and with myself – all managed speedily and smoothly; and always they were so positive and cheerful. To anyone thinking of selling their home : you will be amazed and extremely grateful if you choose Team Parfitt . Thank you so much Lisa and Wayne"

Aucklanders are being encouraged to stay home and stay local as the region enters its last weekend at Alert Level 3.

The reminder comes on the back of two weekends that have seen large numbers of people out and about at skate parks, exercise stations, pump tracks, playgrounds and sports pitches across the region, all of which remain closed at Alert Level 3.

This week, council staff have replaced closure notices and tape at the playgrounds and skate parks where it has been removed by members of the public. Playgrounds, skate parks, exercise equipment and pump tracks are closed at Alert Level 3 to remove the risk of transmission from common surfaces.
