The council is also calling for central Government to introduce more regulations. What are your thoughts on e-scooters? Should they be allowed on footpaths? Do we need more safety regulations?

Happy Halloween ... papatoetoe/manukau

As a parent every year it’s a bit daunting sending out children trick or treating. Mine never go on their own. But sometimes they are disappointed not many neighbours put candy out. I know not everyone does it, that’s cool... it’s for the kids. This year I thought I would ask to save time, which houses in papatoetoe are putting out candy for the kids?

My house is TOMORROW should any other parents be looking for the trick or treat houses for their kids.
We will have Halloween balloons out at the letterbox so others know.
Our address: 114 carruth road, papatoetoe. Witches and wizards ... Welcome! Beware of zombie ninjas 💀
