Infamous Titirangi chickens 'bok' on the streets after $25k removal

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, feral chickens that terrorised children and were blamed for an infestation of “cat-sized” rats are back on the streets, despite politicians spending thousands to remove them.

Kia ora neighbours, feral chickens that terrorised children and were blamed for an infestation of “cat-sized” rats are back on the streets, despite politicians spending thousands to remove them.

Titirangi has battled poultry problems for years and in 2019, the Waitākere Local Board paid $25,000 to get rid of more than 200 birds.

The removal of the chickens was requested by the majority of locals and 240 of the birds were captured and re-homed, but local board deputy chairperson Greg Presland said not every single bird was captured.

Years on, a flock of about 30 birds are roosting by Titirangi library, driving residents “mad” with constant crowing.

Kia ora neighbours, residents of badly damaged Laingholm Drive face months of long detours after a bad slip.

In mid-June, the footpath on the road collapsed and it was cracked apart by a burst water main.

A section of the road has been blocked to traffic since and residents have been told it will take months to fix.

Residents now have to detour along Huia Rd to Victory Rd to access their homes.

Harry Gibbs, who lives near the slip with his partner and 5-month-old baby, said it now took 25 minutes to get to the supermarket in nearby Titirangi when it used to take eight.

Exactly 7 years ago July 3 I arrived to NZ after 3days on the road from West Africa. 3 days travel was hell as I left my family, my job and MY COUNTRY & I also didn’t know what was waiting for me in NZ.

Now after all these years, I’m proud to say I have never been proud of choosing NZ as my home. There are things NZ won’t fix for me, but I love NZ and I have never seen beautiful people and country like NZ.
NZ gave me protection when my country couldn’t.

I love NZ and God bless NZ.

Hello Neighbours,
I am intending to start a part time home based Massage service in the next month or so.
Right now looking for a few clients to get things rolling - who wouldn't mind the fact that I'm not quite setup yet, for a discounted introductory rate of $50/hour
I have approximately 15 years massage experience , have done a bunch of courses , including a few lessons in Thailand.
My options will be:
- Muscular/Pain relief
- Relaxation
I do have quite a knack for finding the exact spot/muscle that has the soreness and working away some of that pain.
My normal job is weekdays 9-5 so appointments will have to fit in around that I'm afraid.
So, if you have sore muscles , need relaxation etc, and if you don't mind that the fancy table covers I've ordered haven't arrived yet, and the front yard still needs some tidying, feel free to get in touch.
