Keep our Glendene Esplanade

Richard from Henderson

I wish to bring to your attention that I received information on the weekend that the owners of Span farm Boat Yard 20 Akatea Rd Glendene were in negotiation with Auckland city council to lease part of the Glendene esplanade for commercial gain. I and my fellow friends who use that area for water born recreational activities and others who walk the track strongly oppose any return of the Glendene Esplanade water front and the public land bordering Span Farm. I know personally that the owners brought the land for the sole purpose of stopping someone else from buying it and then complaining about the dust etc that they create from there concrete crushing plant next door. I have been part of Span Farm for 17 years and when one of the past owners let the Esplanade lease go the council came in and removed all the buildings and had all removable property on the Esplanade removed and the owner was told not to use the Esplanade.
The owner of Span Farm has tried many times to stop people from enjoying the Esplanade as he believes he is entitled to it. He is still using the land now for personal gain and this must stop. Please action our request. We are passionate about our water front’s and that they be there for the good of the general public and not be released back to private enterprise. We don’t wish to go to the papers etc but will do if this matter continues to drag on.

Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?

Dental Care

CMDental Ltd

The main cause of tooth loss in adults is gum disease. Here at CM Dental, we aim to prevent future oral health problems for our patients. Part of how we do this is by encouraging our patients to get a regular scale and polish. Scaling is the thorough removal of plaque and calculus from around teeth. We even offer this service at a discounted rate for our loyal returning patients as an extra incentive to make this a regular part of their oral health regime.

It is worth mentioning that only in its late stages does gum disease cause pain and the damage is then usually irreparable causing tooth loss. You may require multiple cleaning visits if you have more advanced gum disease, but this will be discussed during your inspection appointment.
We are a modern friendly practice located in Henderson with free car parking.
