Auckland trains suspended

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Auckland's train network is down and no trains are currently operating. Warnings are in place due to possible toxic smoke after a recent fire.

What you need to know:
- A large fire which broke out in the Auckland suburb of Favona overnight has been contained.
- Fire is causing a large plume of toxic smoke and South Auckland residents were advised to close all windows and doors and wear a mask as a precaution. The wind has now changed and Greenlane, Ellerslie, Mt Wellington and Penrose are also affected.
- King's College in Ōtāhuhu is closed today due to the smoke.
- Auckland’s train network is completely down with KiwiRail asked to evacuate its control centre.

You can keep up to date with the status of the trains on the Auckland Transport website.

Heartbeats Cardiac Support and Rehab Group at St Heliers Community Centre

Trent Lash from Heartbeats Eastern Bays

Heartbeats, the largest non-profit, community-led cardiac support group in New Zealand is meeting at the St Heliers Community Centre this Thursday, 12th February at 10:00am.

Meetings are informal, friendly and open to ALL heart patients, heart event survivors, their partners, family and whanau.

Having heart disease or facing major heart surgery can be lonely and very frightening. Come along and meet heart people who have all gone through the same thing, or are currently dealing with arrythmias, diabetes, COPD, or very high or low blood pressure.

Heartbeats is not a social group (although we are very social). It is a full support group for education, mental health support and helping with recovery and rehabilitation.

Hope to see you are our St Heliers/Glendowie Heartbeats launch on Thursday.

For more information: call Trent on 022 0606 199

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
