What do you think of Auckland's election billboards?

Josephine Franks Reporter from Western Leader

Suddenly you can't move in Auckland for massive billboards plastered with wannabe politicians and their not-so-catchy slogans.

Lots are bad, but some are worse - so we've compiled and unscientific and non-exhaustive ranking.

Have you seen any particularly good (or bad) billboards? Let… View more

Our Urban Forage Mahinga Kai started at Auckland Domain with a walk through the lower tracks with Riki Bennett to discover a range of edible and not so edible plants, trees and berries.

The forage was then followed by a gourmet luncheon and some of the menu items were prepared using the Kai cooker.

The main highlight was the Kahikatea Berry Jelly which consisted of berries foraged from a year ago.

How to deal with neighbourhood disputes

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Hey neighbours, most of us are lucky enough to get on with the people we live next door to, but what can you do if you don't?

We asked some experts how to stop minor irritations turning into something more serious, and who you can you turn to if things start to get out of hand - because … View more

We asked some experts how to stop minor irritations turning into something more serious, and who you can you turn to if things start to get out of hand - because being better neighbours can only have a positive impact on the quality of our communities, and who wouldn't want that :)

A Huge Apology To Everyone who received their newspapers a day or two late

Matt from Henderson

This is to all people who live down in Stephen Ave, Kona Cres, Poinsettia Place, and the Upper Half of Lincoln Road, from the start Kingdale Rd, and passed Pomaria Rd upwards (you know I am meaning)

This is to all people who live down in Stephen Ave, Kona Cres, Poinsettia Place, and the Upper Half of Lincoln Road, from the start Kingdale Rd, and passed Pomaria Rd upwards (you know I am meaning)

I do apologise to all who have received their newspapers quite late last week. I was quite sick on Monday and Tuesday and came down with a horrible cold and quite chesty. Still not 100% but will be able to do normal deliveries this week as best as I can. I have been able to drink a lot of lemon drink like Lift or when I get the chance, I will mix some Raro juice sachets (put for eg two lemonade raro sachets in a 3 litre bottle) with some actual squeezed lemons with water to fill up the bottle, to mix the juice together and drink when ready.

DISAPPOINTED!! community pantry trashed

Hi Neighbours,

Hi Neighbours,

We have put up a pantry to help those who may need some help with food from time to time and also give others the opportunity to share with the community.

But someone went and trashed it. Picture below is one of our children maintaining the pantry after they had made a beautiful sign for it.

We are teaching our children responsibility and it saddens them to see that their hard work has been trashed.

If you don't want anything fro the pantry thats OK. But please as a community could we keep an eye out for those who would want to trash a great initiative to help our community.

Thank you Kingdly,
Naylar Uisa
