Poll: Do you support Auckland Transport's new paid/time restricted street parking near North Shore Hospital?

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

Hi neighbours. On April 4, Auckland Transport will implement changes to on-street parks surrounding North Shore Hospital.
Road users will pay $1 per hour to park on Shea Terrace, Mary Poynton Crescent and part of Northcote Road, while other street parks will be time-restricted to two hours (see map).
Auckland Transport said the changes will increase parking availability, enable parks to be shared between residents, commuters, hospital patrons and encourage the use of public transport.
We'd like to hear your thoughts: How will this affect you? Do you live on one of these roads? Are you a frequent hospital visitor who relied on free parking? [Please type 'NFP' if your comment is not for publication.]

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Some Choice News!

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
